INTRODUCTION City not fit to live due to improper town planning
Solution is to provide improved transportaion technology
Present solution: Metro rail, but is it possible in congested area?
Monorail is possible in congested areas.
As name implies : single rail on which train transport system runs
Monorail is unique mass system It can be put up in any congested area
Provide ease of transportation
Connects arteries and veins of the city.
HISTORY OF MONORAIL
Concept developed since 1800,first monorail in Russia in 1820.
First monorail was demonstrated in 1886 in New Jersey and are
closer in appearance to modern monorail.
Due to massive expansion on road and air transport system after
second world war, monorail was the first one to be abandoned.
But came again into existence due to its eco friendly
characteristics
Gyro monorail: It was first true monorail.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
Magnetic Levitation (Maglev)
Requires electromagnetic current to generate magnetic field.
Superconducting electric magnets in the vehicle to levitate and propel the train
CONTD… An AC is ran through electromagnet coil
Creates a magnetic field that attracts and repels the
superconducting magnets
Revesring the direction of AC: braking.
Varying intensity of AC : speed change
TYPES OF MONORAIL SYSTEM1) Straddle type 2) Suspended type
CONSTRUCTION
Dig a hole
Drop in a pre-built support pylon,
Track which was manufactured offsite,
Lift into place.

MONORAIL IN INDIA
MUMBAI MONORAIL
DELHI MONORAIL
CHENNAI MONORAIL
KERALA MONORAIL
Besides, discussions are going on for Odissa, Bangalore,
Ahemdabad, Pune and other big cities.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MONORAIL AND METRORAIL
MONORAIL METRORAILRails Single rail Two railsConstruction time B/w 3-4 years Over 5-6 yearsPassengers capacity per hour
10000 40000
Suitability Congested areas having sharp curve
Open area having no sharp curve
Average speed 165 km/h 100 km/hExpenditure Rs 120 – 140 crore per
kmOver 200 crore per km
Space occupied Less compared to metro rail
More compared to monorail
Cost Rs 8-20 Rs 8-30
ADVANTAGES Monorail can be built faster with less cost.
Consumes minimal space.
Serves as Feeder lines for denser cities
Environmental friendly uses no carbon derived fuels
No risk of vehicles getting struck in crossings
Practically silent while travelling
Contributes Greener Environment
Regularly operates at 99.99% reliability.
FUTURE SCOPE
With the development of monorail and its advantages over
conventional rail system, monorail is the technology for the future.
Monorail will be hitting the rapid construction and operation
replacing the conventional system. Operation of monorail will be
saving the precious fuel. With more research works going on about
the monorail it can be made more advanced and more environmental
friendly.
CONCLUSION
With the increase in the construction technology of Monorail ,it can
reduce the use of city buses in narrow and busy road and will
provide comfort to the passengers because of its suitability in the
congested areas. As it connect the arteries and veins of the city and
proves to be environmental friendly it is going to replace various
modes of transportation which affect environment. With the increase
in the population it is necessary for the advancement of transport
technology in order to provide systematic way of transportation in the
near future; for which monorail can be the best alternative.
