  Skybus Several safety features, which are developed as technology initiatives for Konkan Railway operation and also innovative developments made specifically for SkyBus Metro, are given below.   1.     DERAILMENT ARRESTERS The bogies are equipped with Derailment Arresters. The Derailment Arresters, which are instrumented solid rubber wheels, are connected to the 20 journals of the wheel sets of bogies projecting upwards (inside the concrete structure) leaving a gap of 15 mm to 20 mm between the rubber wheels and the surface of the concrete box top . During normal running conditions, these rubber wheels of the Derailment Arresters do not touch the inner roof of the concrete box maintaining the gap. When a running wheel of a bogie tends to leave the rail (i.e. when a running wheel climbs or wheel axle rises leading to derailment), before the flange clears the rail top, the rubber wheel of the Derailment Arresters attached over that erring bogie wheel ...

             The Sky Bus technology meets the requirements, and re-defines the thinking and planning for urban transport being an eco-friendly Mass urban transport system revolutionizing urban life. It is a patented technology developed for the new millennium and will cause a paradigm shift in urban transportation all over the world. Being an indigenous technology, it will place India on the forefront of the Rapid Transit Industry all over the world while providing the much needed alternative transportation solution, which is financially viable, environment friendly, synergizing well proven existing cutting edge technologies. Sky bus technology is developed by Mr. B. Rajaram. Sky Bus is based on the concept of Sky Wheels presented in 1989 at the World Congress for Railway Research by Mr. B Rajaram, Managing Director of KRCL at Bologna University, Italy. The sky bus uses pre-fabricated latest construction technologies, which in bus...
