Abstract: Rapid Urbanisation is one of the challenges that face by top of the countries.
According to Census 2011, level of urbanisation increases from 27.81% in 2001 Census to
31.16% in 2011. Rapid Urbanisation creates a lot of problems such as slum, traffic
increment of vehicle pollution, accident, etc. government tends to solve problem of traffic
by mass transportation like BRTS, Metro Rail by providing Flyover, bridge, etc. Paper
seeks to interpret on better solution against the traffic congestion and to encourage mass
transportation with less population. we are inventing a new innovative, alternative Urban
transport system for human betterment as a traffic solution which is pollution free self-
transportation economical negligible fuel consumption etc. a mechanical non-linear
overhead system above the city roads is Curvo ropeway concept.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Day by day with increasing induction of auto vehicles on roads particularly when widening of
roads is not possible in the city. Vehicular transport is the major contributor to air pollution.
Pollution leads to human ailments. Congestion causes loss of time and human productivity.
Accidents claims human life. Increasing rate of road damages and repair thereof.
Bridge construction is not possible on dense roads.Fuel consumption in dense areas.
1.3 Solution
There for to overcome the above problems, there is a second tier Urban transportation system.
that is , A mechanical non-linear overhead system above the city roads therefore it is really the
need of arc for past few years refining aerial commutation technology with relentless RND work
has brought into being curvo ropeway concept.
2.1 Curvo
Curvo Ropeway is a continuous overhead moving system between two terminals. It can take
bends without detachment. This is the world first ropeway engineering that can negotiate bends
over serpentine urban routes on existing roads at a line speed.
Curvo ropeway will be an elevated and aerial mode of urban transport. Curvo ropeway is for
urban commutation only not for the highways.Curvo Ropeway system with unique nonlinear
feature has vertical Grip Structures, unlike others, and equipped with horizontal actuating device
for Locking and Unlocking of the said Grips. Curvo system is similar to conventional detachable
Monocable Ropeway, other than its unique CURVO feature.
Fig.2 Curvo Grip
The curvo ropeway system has the cabin capacity around 8-10 seats.Cabins aesthetically
designed and spaced at 22-25 seconds interval, cruise by overheard, a pleasing sight to the
beholding public at large in comparison to vehicular congestion below. In this system portal
frames are installed at a spaced of 90-100 meters. This portal frames occupies 2 m² land space
on the kerb. It will need nominal ground space for stations and rope supporting portal frames.
This system can able to transport 2000 pph in one direction in congested road (narrow
roads),while in the wider roads it can transport 4000 pph in each direction. If this system is
implemented on all the congested routes of the city that is about in 200km then it can able to
commute 1,00,000 passengers per hour. This is equivalent to 2000 bus loads, in a city on a
multiple road routes.
The line speed of the curvo system is assumed to be 4m/s, which is equivalent to 14.5 km/hr.
while with a very slow speed over loading/unloading areas at the station, its average travel speed
would be around 3.5m/s or 12.6km/hr on the Curvo system. Thereby cutting down on commuting
time.
Terminal station of the curvo system will be equipped with a drive at one end and a tensioning
device by hydraulic means at the other end. The drive and tension station will be equipped with
necessary provision for the ascend and descend too, an elevating of the commuters to the station
platform areas, as in case of intermediate stations.
2.7 Advantages
Study area is located on Rajmarg of the city Surat which the rout from Chowk to railway station.
The Rajmarg is the area from Chowk to Station. It is the densest area of the city. In this area daily
traffic congestion occurs. It is a challenge to solve traffic congestion in this route from Chowk to
station. we are proposing this cable car (i.e. Curvo ropeway system) which can take bends at any
angle of the road route.
4.0 CONCLUSION
As discussed earlier in paper Urbanization creates lots of problems, in its traffic congestion are
one of the most critical problem faces by Government nowadays, Government seeks to
understand the scenario of traffic and vehicle and lot of solution are towards the congestion.
Curvo system has the potential of opening of new chapter for safe and comfortable urban aerial
commutation. Curvo is system for the alternative solution of mass transportation will lead to result
in less occupied area in road and numbers of passenger can be transfer safely as well as
economically. Curvo is specially used where the dimension of road are very narrow at where
traffic are major problem as well as it is pollution less transits system. It has a lot of benefit like
less fuel consumption, less probability of accident. It will lead to encourage the mass
transportation system.
