'시속 255km' 미래형 버스, 소음도 매연도 없어요
두바이에서 열리는 UITP 59차 세미나에서 선보여
머니투데이 2011.05.03 11:37
23명의 승객을 태우고 시속 255km로 달리는 미래형 전기 버스가 선보였다.
네덜란드 델프트과학기술대학의 설계팀이 설계하고 제작한 이 미래형버스는 공기동력학 원리를 활용해 속도를 높였다. 2004년부터 제작에 착수해 완성할 때까지 약1900만달러가 투입됐다. 수석 디자이너는 F1 윌리엄스 팀으로 유명한 안토니아 테르찌(Antonia Terzi)가 맡았다.
길이는 15피트(약4.57m)이며 바퀴는 6개이다. 승객이 타고 내리는 문은 각 좌석 옆에 달려 있다. 무게를 줄이기 위해 고투명광섬유를 사용하고 있으며 시동은 전동모터로 하고, 전원은 리튬이온폴리머 배터리를 쓴다.

First Superbus prototype to be presented at the 59th UITP Congress & Exhibition in Dubai
| Mon 28 Mar 2011 03:48:35 am |
The first Superbus prototype will be presented in Dubai at the World Exhibition of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) hosted by Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), on the opening day of the event, which commences on 10 and runs through until 14 April 2011.
The Superbus Project represents a new concept for safe, flexible and sustainable mobility. It consists of a new vehicle, created following the latest innovation and IT systems; a new type of dedicated infrastructure, with ‘super tracks’ made of relatively cheap concrete roads, where the Superbus runs at 250km/h and new logistics.
At 15m long and 2.5m wide, the Superbus has similar dimensions to a conventional bus, but due to the seating arrangement without a centre aisle, the height is just 1.7m. Instead of a few large doors, eight or so doors along both sides of the vehicle to allow direct access to all seats.
The Superbus uses aerospace technology in combination with Formula 1 technology to create a lightweight structure with a low drag shape that is stable and controllable at high speed.
The prototype is electrically powered with a 1000-1200kg rechargeable battery pack.
Superbus goes beyond the concept of a fixed schedule and the logistics allow for flexibility in high volume transport on demand, via a central routing optimization system. Thus the vehicle transports passengers from their origin to their destination without the need for changeovers.
Started in 2004 by the Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, the test vehicle ran the Experimental demonstration in 2008 and the prototype will be presented on the opening day of the 59th UITP World Congress and Exhibition. All press and media are invited to attend the presentation.
Date: 10 April 2011
Venue: Stand 1A400, Dubai World Trade Centre -DWTC
Time: 5:00 pm
UITP (International Association of Public Transport) is the international network for public transport authorities and
operators, policy decision-makers, scientific institutes and the public transport supply and service industry. It is a platform
for worldwide cooperation, business development and the sharing of know-how between its 3,400 members from 92
countries. UITP is the global advocate for public transport and sustainable mobility, and the promoter of innovations in the
sector. For more information, please visit www.uitp.org. For more information about the 59th UITP World Congress and

Concept
“Carefree and comfortable travel, customized according to your needs. You can get in the vehicle wherever and whenever you need. It will take you to your destination without any changeovers. During the journey, you can get on with your work, or sit back and enjoy the speed and the luxury. This service will be yours for a fare which is comparable to the prices of present day’s public transport.”
This is not a dream, but a concept that formed the starting point for the development of Superbus as an innovative alternative for today’s personal mobility.
Superbus is a new concept for sustainable mobility, which consists of a new vehicle, new type of dedicated infrastructure and new logistics. For this new concept, all of the intelligence and innovation is put into the vehicle, whereas the dedicated infrastructure, where the Superbus runs at 250 km/h, is made of relatively cheap concrete roads.
Superbus is 15 meters long and provides seating for 23 passengers. In order to improve comfort and to allow individuality, it has 8 doors per side.
Superbus does not have a fixed schedule and the logistics allow for flexibility in high volume transport on demand, via a central routing optimization system. Thus the vehicle transports passengers from target to destination without the need for changeovers.
The design of Superbus has been developed around some key themes. Superbus is safe due to obstacle detection systems (through radar equipment and a fast responding electronic guidance system), high maneuverability and formidable breaking power.
Superbus is designed to be flexible regarding different travel needs. The two different interior cabins are designed for people travelling alone or in groups. Superbus is also flexible due to the routing, since there is no fixed route for Superbus and the routes are customized based on the preferred starts and destinations of the passengers. Since it also runs on standard roads, it can fit seamlessly into the existing infrastructure.
Superbus is sustainable. It is an electrically powered vehicle which uses rechargeable batteries. Because it is lightweight and because of its highly streamlined construction, Superbus has low energy consumption.
Beside all this, Superbus is designed to provide a sensational travel experience. The level of comfort should be comparable to travelling with a luxurious sedan. This sensational experience will be realized through high speed, ergonomic interior design and personal multimedia equipment for each individual passenger.
Superbus is developed in the Netherlands, but it can be regarded as a global investment since the Netherlands will subsequently be able to market it worldwide.

Superbus makes roundabout turn with rear wheel streering
2010. 10. 9.
Superbus a new public transport combining high speed train with flexibility of a road car, shows off with a tight turn within a circle of 25 meter using its rear wheel steering. Supebus' ambition: to beat a private car, public transport of the future, the social ferrarie for the youth, the "seidiciporte"

This is the Superbus; a very futuristic form of public transport (a bus). It has a topspeed of over 300 km/h! Via http://www.autojunk.nl/2011/04/presentatie-van-wubbos-superbus
2010. 09. 19.
Wubbo Ockels , inventor, made the first ride of the Superbus Vehicle designed by Antonia Terzi. Superbus drives 250 km/h on a special track and drives also on hignways and secondary roads. The propulsion is electroc. Superbus is and innovative new pubic transport and a project of the Delft University of Technology. Joris Melkert is forms next to Ockels and Terzi the team that leads the project.
