TRAMS AND TROLLEY BUSES WITHOUT EXTERNAL FEEDING
Abstract
The tasks of engineering of wireless electric feeding for urban passenger transport, of storage batteries which ensure prolonged autonomy of rail and trackless vehicles – are rightfully ranked among the tasks of engineering of modern electric cars, hybrid engines for motor cars (see, e. g. Mir Transporta, 2013, Iss.1). The present survey article is a sort of a think piece referring to existing engineering solutions and projects, implemented during past decades, which reflect best practices of countries where tram and trolleybus routes are equipped with sections without external electric feeding.
