What is a Monorail?• "A single rail serving as a track for passenger
vehicles. In most cases rail is elevated, but monorails can also run at grade, below grade or in subway tunnels. Vehicles are suspended from a narrow guide way.
• Monorail vehicles are wider than the guide way that supports them.

Why elevated?Three places to put a transit system:• Above ground level• At ground level • Below ground level
If there is no space at ground level then above ground is quicker, easier and cheaper.

Why use a monorail?• Can be cost effective. Large monorails are usually under 10%
of the cost of heavy rail subway systems.• Proven. Many systems are in use carrying millions of
passengers per year especially in Japan and China.• Safe. Monorails are fully grade separated. Evacuation from
one train to another, to a walkway or to the ground is possible. Monorails do not flood and are not below sea level.
• Can be Automated.

Why not use a monorail?• You have a free grade-separated easement. No need for a
subway or monorail in this situation.• No traffic congestion. If the roads are not busy buses or
trams can be used.• Lots of stops. If you need stops every 100 meters then a
monorail will be too expensive.• No space above ground. In this case subway is the only
option left.

Maglev monorail system
The guide-way is a linear motor. Train floats on a magnetic field and is propelled by the track. Can float for 1 hour on batteries if power lost. (Transrapid)

High-speed monorail system
Transrapid maglev monorail system is recommended for where speeds of between 100 and 500 km/h are needed (Image: Shanghai)

High-capacity vs. tourist monorailsHigh Capacity Monorails• Flat floor allows passengers to walk-through the train• Two tracks allows travel in both directions• Hundreds of passengers per train
Tourist Monorails• Separate carriages - cannot walk through • Mostly short single-track loops• Under 100 passengers per train• Not suitable for a public-transit systems • (E.g. Former Sydney monorail, Sea World and Broadbeach monorails.)

The Switch MythSwitches are a problem. Reality: All serious monorail systems have switches that are operated thousands of times a day.

Monorail Transportation & Land Use
• Safety – Grade separated, cannot derail - no traffic accidents
• Reliability – Proven technology, high capacity allows scheduling
• Natures Fury – Reliable evacuation service over floods and high winds, monorail does not require drainage features
• Speed – Designed for any required speed no traffic congestion
• Environment – No fences separating lands no rights of way at grade, no children & animals on tracks, minimal pollution
• Cost – Minimal land occupancy & utility relocation at grade, capacity more then 9 lanes of roadway, competitive fares

RISKS
• Risks – Metro Rail Vs. Monorail Political risks, market and revenue risks, financial risks and legal risks are same for both MRT and Monorail projects. Construction risks are faced by both modes. Metro rail faces more risks than monorail due to more requirement of scarce urban land for ROW, specially because metro rail requires flat curves (Desirable 300m radius) than Monorail (50-70 m radius). On the other hand Monorail procurement carries more risks than Metro rail as number of suppliers is limited.
![Page 18: Monorails railway rbt ppt by MayankOza](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062400/58ce847c1a28ab210a8b648b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
RISKS
• Operating risks are more in the case of Monorail as the technology finds limited use around the World and is new to India. Hence absorption of technology for construction, operation and maintenance and availability of spare parts could pose a threat to reliability of service. There is no ongoing innovation / research process currently undertaken in India. On the other hand, Metro rail systems around the World and in India are already stabilized as far as technology acceptance and availability of manufacturing infrastructure (for spare parts etc.) in the country.

RISKS
• Secondly risk of derailment i.e. wheels jumping the rails is higher in the case of Metro rail systems than the monorail. Thirdly, the arrangement for emergency evacuation in case of Monorail system is more complicated than the Metro rail
