A new mode of transport already approved by PROTRAM, 100% electric, with autonomous driving trains, with capacity similar to BRT without overtaking and commercial speed of Metro.
In the active lane change mechanism that goes on board the Autotrains while in the APMs it is the track itself that makes the lane change -some APMs such as those propelled by cable do not even have lane changes-.
This allows Autotrén safe separations of up to 6 seconds between mini-trains, and enables all stations to have passing lanes.
Yes. In the city of London England; E.U ; United Arab Emirates ; India ; Korea ; Holland ; Taiwan and Singapore.
The structure is robust, even withstands the impact of other vehicles
TÜV Rheinland, a German firm of great international prestige, evaluated the CBTC system (“Communication Based Train Control”) of the Autotren and the technical capacity of Modutram, finding them capable of achieving the correct compliance with the requirements of the European railway safety standard EN 50126/8/9 for a commercial Autotren facility.
It is the firm suggested to be contracted by the Competent Authority to assess functional safety from the executive project to the certification of a specific Autotren installation.
It is a new mode of transport already approved by PROTRAM, with capacity similar to BRT without overtaking and commercial speed of Metro.
With intelligent grouping within the stations:
1) Users locate their module/address, 2) indicate destination, 3) wait for destination call, 4) go up or down to platform level for the last wait on the platform.
Because the load it must bear is ultra-light. Similar to the charge for some pedestrian bridges and a fraction of the charge for conventional buses and trains.
Because their rails are widely available commercial “C” profiles for general use.
Because Autotrains are nationally manufactured vehicles, bodied by Carrocerías Hermanos Becerra SA de CV (BECCAR), a Mexican bodywork recognized for its excellent value.
Because its powertrain uses off-the-shelf commercial components from the automotive industry: electric motor, transmission, brakes, lithium cells, disc brakes, etc.
Yes, the structural and architectural solution may vary, only the track-vehicle interface is fulfilled.
The road is planted where there are no trees, and/or is built in line with the trees, and the trees are trimmed as required.
Because the centers have a pedestrian vocation and the Autotrén cut-and-cover underground solution is viable where others are not.
Depending on the Material, type of soil, seismicity, average height/depth, induced work, spans, % of curves, evacuation corridor, railings, type of paint, architectural design, specific restrictions, execution time, etc.
For massive low trunk lines, the Autotrén fleet is cheaper, even over 30 years. For example, for the capacity of a certain Tramway line of 70,000 trips/day, Autotren rolling stock over 30 years of life would cost 34.8 million dollars instead of 50.0 million dollars in the case of Tramway.

Operation and maintenance costs depend on a variety of factors that vary from case to case (corridor length, average trip distance, station density, magnitude of rush hour, mix of elevated, at-grade, underground tracks, etc.).
Thus, the technical rate can vary between $6-$10 per trip, which generally allows profitable operation and private investment with public transport rates.
In general, the same public transport rate of the city in question.
However, the technical rate depends on the distance of the average trip, so a rate per distance is suggested -easy to implement because users indicate their destination-, in order to maintain the same income per train that keeps the operation profitable.
As in any public transport, if there are preferential rates (students, seniors, etc.), or if the same low rate is sought even with large average trips, the impact must be studied and, where appropriate, compensated with: 1 ) a higher flat rate (which would be justified by the high level of Autotrén service) or 2) with a subsidy.
