Why does the ATI vehicle hang from a big pipe?
The vehicle is suspended from a cylindrical GuideRail that allows it to roll or bank like an aircraft while traversing curves. This affords ride comfort to the passengers while they are seated and provides for their safety when moving about the cabin. The completely elevated system creates no grade crossings. Grade crossings are the most hazardous aspect of high-speed passenger transportation systems. Elevated passenger terminals allow easy sighting within urban and small town/village environments. The GuideRail is suspended from overarching structures resembling large light poles shaped like an inverted ‘J’. These are mounted on concrete foundations constructed below ground level.
