URBAN TRANSPORT 2017 showed the personalized future

In pavilion 75 VDNH 22-24 November, is the international salon of innovations URBAN TRANSPORT

In pavilion 75 VDNH 22-24 November, is the international salon of innovations URBAN TRANSPORT, which replaced the International conference and exhibition of the same orientation "Expocitytrans" held with the direct support and participation of the government of Moscow, GUP "Mosgortrans" and sue "Moscow metro". A new forum was much more modest predecessors, and the main focus was on virtual technology, although the actual exhibits were also present, however, without the Prime Minister, part of which was previously
at COMTRANS-2017.

Forward to the bus

So, "GAZ Group" presented two public buses under the brand of GAS (though make them
still at the plants, the GROOVE, KAVZ and, in this case, LiAZ) of 9.5-meter midibus LIAZ-429260 Kursor and 12.4-meter LIAZ-529265.

Both models are low-floor diesel, respectively, at 63 (21 seat and 1 place
for wheelchair users) and 85 seats (23+1). Buses are equipped with under the capital "Automated dispatch control of land transport": the on-Board navigation and communication terminal (BNCT) in the VHF-radio, microphone manipulator
with loudspeaker, video recorder, 12 cameras, a complex of 9 cameras (on the model 529265 – 11 cameras), a monitor driver, a stabilizing power supply (BPS), sensors-detectors of smoke and temperature and alarm button with light.

In addition, the monitoring system includes 3 temperature sensor in the cabin; the system of informing of passengers includes red placards "STOP", the answering machine with 4 loudspeakers in saloon, front, rear, side and interior panels, and for the convenience of passengers the USB ports. Of course, provided and the fire suppression system ASOTP with a mass of fire extinguishing charge in 7 kg with control unit in cab.

By the way, the model Kursor steering column (made by Continental) are regulated together
with the instrument that maintains optimal visibility of the devices for the driver of any growth. This model is equipped with a domestic 4-cylinder diesel engine, YAMZ-53403 capacity of 210 HP environmental class Euro-5 and automatic transmission ZF 6AP-1000B. Maximum speed
(due to the limiter) is from 65 to 85 km/h. in addition, both bridge Kursor also the production of engines, position: front RL-55EC with independent air suspension and disc brakes
with electronic control (EBS) rear portal axle AV-110/90°/7° C air suspension also with disc brakes. The RB power steering Servocom 8095. The braking system features except ABS ASR. Ventilation system is 18 kW air conditioning "August-23БС-A18" with the function of ventilation and heating system SPHEROS Thermo E-320. In a series Kursor there is also a two-door version semi-low-floor LIAZ-429260LE designed for urban and suburban transport.

Larger bus LIAZ-529265, which constitutes today the basis of the bus fleet of private carriers, working on municipal contracts, also is equipped with domestic 6-cylinder diesel engine, YAMZ-53633 capacity of 276 HP and automatic transmission ZF 6AP-1400B. Maximum speed 85 km/h suspension Scheme is the same as for Kursor, bridges ZF other more lifting models – RL-85A front and FM 133/90°/7° at the rear. Air conditioning is also more powerful
30-kilowatt "August-23БС-Ф30". By the way, now sue "Mosgortrans" buys only domestic model, and, with a lifetime contract of service (at least 12 years old)
so relax no manufacturer is not necessary.

Bus the main competitor of "GAZ Group" – the Corporation KAMAZ, showed the buses KAMAZ-6282, created in collaboration with a private engineering company Electro Drive (NIKAU) – the national leader in developing electric and hybrid systems for commercial vehicles and public transport. This second-generation model can accommodate up to 86 passengers (33 seats) debuted at the recent motor show COMTRANS-2017.

Low-floor buses KAMAZ-6282 equipped with the so-called "elektroporcelan" bridge ZF AVE130-400VAC with two asynchronous electric motors with a capacity 2х125 kW (ΜM=2х485 N·m) liquid-cooled (ethylene glycol). The maximum speed of the bus is 75 km/h Brake system with low noise pneumatic screw electrocompressor. Steering
with electrohydraulical.

The service life of batteries second generation lithium-titanate (LTO) type with a capacity
80 kWh, specially designed for frequent charging with high currents (up to 90% of capacity), set at 10 years or 20 000 cycles charge-discharge. As the cruising range of the electric bus is only 70 km, the ultra-fast charging for 8-12 min at the last stop has become a vital part of this transportation technology. This is done through a lifting Polupanova
from a special 240-kilowatt ultra-fast charging station developed by Drive Electro
in 2015. It connects to either a conventional three-phase mains with voltage of 380V or optional to the bus with a voltage of 550V. Working temperature range for ultra-fast charging station installed from -45°C to +45°C, but is rumored to be in testing at cold temperatures the system Polupanova was subject to icing.
For night charging at the bus depot the bus is installed more than the usual chargers for three phase current 380V. As an option on the e-bus can be installed in the climate system, but the heater still works on diesel fuel.

Recently KAMAZ has won the tender for delivery of a batch of 300 buses. In 2021, the Government of Moscow, by the way, intends to purchase exclusively buses instead of diesel buses. According Electro Drive replacement 1000 buses on the buses will be equivalent to the removal from the roads of the city of 343 000 (!) cars with internal combustion engines, i.e. the diesel bus is almost equal to the two trucks and 12 cars. Cost of ownership by each bus
per 10 years is also in favor of the bus, about 20-25%, while the company is based on the calculation of the cost of diesel fuel, 35 RUB./l and 2 RUB/kW·h, and mileage 250 km day,
what about the last while there is some doubt. However, the payback period of the electric bus is installed in 6-7 years, and the period of service 10-15 years. It is thought that the operation
in Moscow, a big party of 300 electric buses will allow you to remove (or concentrate) many questions on operation in our Northern city of this advanced mode of transport while in the more southern regions only more "begins its takeoff run".

It is appropriate next to the booths bus manufacturers (including Daimler AG, however, full-scale models of buses not provided), there is a stand of the Russian representative office of OOO "CF Russia", which showed the automatic hydromechanical transmission of the new generation ZF-EcoLife, not requiring as precursors of separate electronics and connection to the temperature sensor, the retarder, pneumatic trunk
and external drive, which is replaced by a single CAN-bus is integrated in the onboard network of data exchange of the bus. Series automatic transmission ZF-EcoLife includes six models from 500 ΜM
up to 2000 N·m. Among the new and updated features for ZF-EcoLife – new torque Converter, the torsional vibration dampers, more powerful primary brake (retarder), a new cooling system with two heat exchangers, the new control system with electronic unit directly on the transmission, the program mode control switch TopoDyn Life, and longer service life, in General, when reducing noise within the cabin and reduced fuel consumption power plant environmental standards Euro-4/-5/-6. The firm has confirmed by testing that now four (!) bus automatic transmission ZF-EcoLife produce the total noise is not more than one bus with automatic still.

It was also demonstrated independent front suspension series ZF RL 55 EC
for low-floor city buses. It provides optimum maneuverability
due to the greater length of the wheel, a significant increase of comfort, increase the active safety due to better handling of the bus, reinforced the lateral stiffness of the suspension and reduce body roll in turns.

The presentation of his new project Internet application BUS4US on URBAN TRANSPORT arranged the company BBUS ("Biznesses"). New Internet service is designed for ordering and booking of buses right through the program on your phone that are compatible with the AppStore and Google Play. The program guarantees the promptness of the order, the ideals of the route and shows the exact amount of the cost of the trip right in time to place an order, guarantee the safety of payments and their consistency with the law. App BUS4US already successfully working in many countries of the world. In addition, together with dealer company "Utah Center Capital" BBUS showed one of the new flagships of their intercity fleet – tourist liner Yutong ZK6122H9 to 53 seats. It is equipped with air conditioning system from Spheros. By the way, this instance of the bus is in operation for six months. Rent BBUS offers a variety of buses from van Mercedes-Benz Vito to the flagship of the MAN Lion's Coach. Incidentally, both companies also offer comprehensive maintenance for buses at your service center
on the Warsaw highway (bbus-service.ru).

Another model, however, presented the Metropolitan transport company Klavto (also uchastvuya in the project BUS4US) became the city's 12-meter bus Yutong ZK6118 90 passengers (30 seats), and, for the first time among private carriers in the version of gas fuel. Firm offers for rent a variety of models-from minivans to large ships.

Among the "small forms" to be new, but fast-growing car-share firm CAR4YOU offering a new sedan Renault Logan with full "capital" filling (4-speed classic automatic gearbox and air conditioning) at competitive price for you! 8 per minute. The company has
and longer great rates, for example, daily for ₽1999, but the most popular was the 6-hour in just ₽900 (registered before November 15, customer all for ₽750). Naturally, all cars are insured by CASCO and CTP (included in price). Interestingly, the car after use, you can freely leave on a paid Parking lots. The business is developing quite successfully and the end of the year CAR4YOU intends to increase its fleet to 1,000 cars.

The infamous MASTERCARD presented at the URBAN TRANSPORT my contactless card
to make purchases worth up to ₽1000, including travel by public transport. No need to wasting time entering a pin and signing a receipt (slip). The card is linked to your Bank account, which is replenished in the usual way. Operations at Mastercard are considered as the perfect credit card and are suitable to make purchases through the Internet and by phone. In the absence of the terminal Mastercard pay with new card like a regular credit card.

It was a tram the tenth number

Another large section of the exhibition URBAN TRANSPORT consists of companies and firms engaged in the production and operation of a rail urban transport. So, OOO Elektrotransservis showed an innovative system of remote online monitoring of technical condition and maintenance of trams operating on the Metropolitan lines.

The system shows in real time not only the technical condition of each car, but also instantaneous power consumption, door opening, etc., etc. Thus, it is possible to control not only motion graphics, but also to evaluate the qualification of the tram driver. Equipment located in the van Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The company also provides full life cycle (which is today 30 years!) electric vehicles
on objects of the Russian Federation. Only in Moscow, OOO "ETS" serves 150 tram cars. Exploitation has been facilitated by modern trams on-Board computer
with self diagnostic system, which determines the malfunction of a specific node
or unit, which in turn, is more studied by the experts of mobile service teams.   

Also online monitoring, but not trams, and functional status of human body offers ZAO NPP "System technology" from St. Peterburga already 20 years engaged in the work
for the design, manufacture and integration of precision measuring equipment
and information systems. Its development used by JSC "Russian Railways", Moscow and St. Petersburg subways, on the ground public transportation and other enterprises. The new automated system "Navigator" allows to reduce accident rate due to loss of attention
and making mistakes by the drivers to exercise operational control of public transport operators and carriers during their journey. The system allows you to maintain the normal functional status of workers, including the early detection of the monotony, falling asleep, sudden deterioration of health, stress. The system gives a warning signal with increasing likelihood of loss of attention, warns the Manager, and also binds to the location, route
and the actual time working through the main unit of the system "the Navigator".

A sample of the innovative cabin of the tram car flagship series "Vityaz-M" showed the capital "PC Transport system". The machine, which is a further modernization of the series 71-931 "knight", may be performed as in classical
and in the version with two cabins and two-sided location of doors to work on routes without working rings.

Modular design with separate driver's cab and rear platform the number of variants of wagon "Vityaz-M" is sufficiently large. It is also possible execution in the form of three or more sectional versions with length up to 27.5 m. car Width is 2.5 m, passenger capacity –
60 seats, and the total – 185 people (standard 5 pers./m²) and 265 people (8 people/m²). The basis of the original tram is low-floor, rotating, elastic cart own design company.

Is developing advanced vasilioniko five-section tram, of course, too low, series 71-952 and three-car 71-921 "Corsair" into a gauge of 1000 mm (for example, there is one in Kaliningrad). Trams "PC Transport system"
already working in 20 cities of the CIS and far abroad. By the way, in the prospectus of the company was listed and still experienced trolley model 6281 with a larger stand-alone course of any configuration, for example, trolleybus with batteries or hard drives, or hybrid electric bus with a diesel-electric installation.

Another strong manufacturer of railway equipment was also present at the exhibition was the ZAO "Transmashholding", which last year celebrated its 15th anniversary and obyedinenie the majority of the Russian manufacturers of various railway equipment. For example, the latest metrovagony "Moscow" Mytishchi "Metrovagonmash" also appeared without the involvement of the parent company. Over the past decade and a half, "Transmashholding" has developed a total of 72 new models of rolling stock for rail transport in all main classes.

History on wheels

British classic "double-Decker" Lodekka 1955, not too massive brand Bristol
(in London not exploited) turned into fudbal.

The current exhibition was launched fairly extensive retro-exposition of the Museum "Moscow Transport". In its composition was at this time represented a post-war trolleybuses
and buses as a unique kind of tour Svarz-of TBES-VSHV, established in 1955 specifically to drive on VSHV (VDNKH), memorial to the many mass city bus LiAZ-677.

On that trolleybus Svarz-of MTBIS famously pursued his hapless groom Yuri Detochkin (Smoktunovsky I.) in the Comedy Eldar Ryazanov's "Beware of the car" the driver Lyusya
performed by Olga Aroseva

But also another weird friend from childhood: in years 1964-1970 Moscow Sokolniki car-repair plant (Svarz) produced cargo trolley (the trolley car) model TG-3M. This car with the bodywork the van was composed of units from different vehicles: the electric drive and all other electric snap-in from the MTB-82Д (later ZIU-5) including the electric motor DK-207 power 95 kW, engine power 70 HPS.
from the GAZ-51 wheels from MAZ-200. Gross vehicle weight was about 12 tons and the maximum speed reached 45-50 km/h. Only Swarte has produced about 400 vehicles, including 55 units with a side platform. About 260 of them worked in Moscow, and 140 were sent to
in other cities with a trolleybus network, for example, in Minsk and Kiev. All the trolley cars operated in 122 cities of the USSR of the 178 who had trolleibusnoe network. Operated the trolley cars in the capital to 1993 years. And here is one such abandoned trolley cars
was restored for the Museum "Moscow Transport".

Blue trolleybus MTB-82 (1946-1961 years) from famous lake urban romance Bulat Okudzhava was quite widespread (in various companies, including ZIU, produced about 5 thousand of these cars) and worked in the capital until the early 1970s, and in other Soviet cities.
until the early 1980s.

Postwar big 9,5-metre city bus ZIS-154 (1947-1950) differed advanced design (diesel-electric transmission), but frankly the poor quality of performance of the power plant (diesel YAMZ-204A desperately smoked, causing fair complaints of Muscovites and guests of the capital) and because in Moscow did not last long.

Successor ZIS-155 (1949-1957 years) was simplified and introduced a transitional model
shortened to 8 meters the body of the ZIS-154 for units of the truck ZIS-150, ie, with the petrol engine capacity of 90 HP which was not enough to carry 50 passengers (to sit could
28 passengers). There was also a number of disadvantages that were overcome in the next model.

The bus from my childhood – riveted (almost 4.6 thousand rivets holding duralumin body panels) ZIL-158В. This elongated 0.77 m bus 60 seats (32 seats) were performed on aggregates of more sophisticated truck ZIL-164 and stayed in production for
from 1957 to 1971, and 1960 were produced in the suburban Likino-Dulyovo in the Lyase.
Unfortunately, the strength of the body ZIL-158 and his modernized version of the ZIL(LiAZ)-158В I differed as efficiency gasoline engine with 109 HP

Introduced in 1967, the LiAZ-677 (in the photo is just an early model 1967-1982 he) was a ahead of its time solutions, such as, automatic transmission, pneumonectomy suspension on the pneumocylinders (1972), the rear storage space. He was succeeded by the upgraded bus LiAZ-677М (from 1982 to 1999 she), has kept almost the same appearance. This bus with all its increased capacity (up to 110 passengers at rush hour) did not differ comfort and efficiency, as a carbureted engine ZIL-375 (derated version of the 76-m gasoline) from army truck-terrain vehicle "Ural-375" was distinguished by his enormous appetite (up to 50 l/100 km) and, of course, did not comply with any environmental regulations. But, the main obstacle for "the 677-th" is the impossibility of equipping his ask because perednemotornoy layout. Interestingly, in some localities
he worked until recently, for example, in the Moscow suburb of Khimki.

Intercity 31-local "Ikarus-55" edition of 1953, with a 145-horsepower diesel engine Raba was
for its time, just a gorgeous and high-speed liner. The model is widely supplied
in the USSR and was replaced only in the early 1970s, advanced models "Ikarus-250" and "Ikarus-255".

City mid-size 9-metre rear-engined (bus LAZ-695 "Lyvv" (1956-1958) was the first model in the USSR. With numerous upgrades, he held out
in production until 2008. A disadvantage of the "695" was too narrow doors, but on suburban roads he was "king".

Modernity marked the GUP "Mosgortrans", which presented the flagship of its long-distance fleet – liner three-axle Setra S517HD.
