Abstract

Provedena je analiza suvremenih tramvajskih sustava koji primjenjuju „catenary-free“ tehnologije odnosno tramvaje bez kontaktne mreže. Analizirani su sustavi koji koriste napajanje putem vozne površine (treća šina), indukcijski tramvaji te tramvaji nadograđeni baterijskim i superkondenzator sustavima. Također je napravljena analiza trenutne situacije i sustava javnog prijevoza u Wiesbadenu, koji se trenutno temelji na autobusnom prijevozu. Zbog dostizanja maksimalne iskoristivosti kapaciteta autobusnog prijevoza te nemogućnosti dodatnog unaprijeđenja sustava, donesena je odluka o izgradnji tramvajske mreže. Budući da se radi o gradu velike povijesne baštine, potrebno je sačuvati estetiku grada i stoga se razmatra uvođenje tramvajskog sustava koji eliminira naponske vodove iznad tramvaja. Na temelju izrađene analize projekta, ponuđene se lokacije te odgovarajuće tehnologije pogodne za implementaciju na CityBahn-ovu tramvajsku mrežu. Kako bi se dobio uvid u isplativost takvih ulaganja napravljena je analiza troškova i koristi za svaku ponuđenu opciju implementacije.

Abstract (english)

An analysis of modern tram systems using catenary-free technology has been carried out, mainly ground-level power supply system, induction tram system, battery system and super-capacitor system. An analysis of the current situation and the public transport system in Wiesbaden has also been made, which is heavily based on bus transportation. Due to the maximum utilization of bus transportation capacty for the provision of passenger transport services and the impossibility of additional expansion, it is necessary to implement a tram network in the city. Since it is a city of great historical heritage it is necessary to preserve the aesthetics of the city and therefore consider introducing some of the catenary-free technologies. Based on the project analysis made, options were offered for the implementation of CityBahn and a cost-benefit analysis was developed for each one to gain insight into the cost-effectiveness of such investments.
