How Can uST Transport Push the Boundaries in the Tourism Industry?
Cultural and historical sites and corners of unspoiled nature attract a large number of tourists every year. People are actively traveling, and this trend is gaining momentum all over the globe. Experts predict unprecedented growth of international tourism in the next decade. Unitsky String Technologies Inc. believes that application of new transportation technologies can increase the tourist appeal of the sites.
Efficient solution for big opportunities
Elevated uST complexes will provide transportation for a large number of passengers without disturbing historical and cultural sites. The rail electric vehicles traveling high above the ground can transport up to 50,000 passengers per hour. The level of transportation safety is improved by an automated control system. It provides full control of speed and route, responds quickly to obstacles and any changes in the traffic situation. Movement intervals and the number of uPods on the line can be adjusted depending on the density of passenger traffic.
Above ground: a new approach to guided tours
Rail electric vehicles are very convenient for excursions, e.g. in national parks or nature reserves. Virtually silent uPods provide the utmost comfort for passengers and allow them to enjoy mesmerizing views from several floors up. At the same time, uST vehicles are equipped with multimedia and Wi-Fi systems. With their help, during the excursion passengers can be told about the objects outside the vehicle at any particular moment. Such a recording can easily replace a tour guide.
Preservation of the natural ecosystem
uST complexes will ensure high-speed and efficient transfer of tourists to historical sites and will organically fit into the landscape of the area, preserving its unique natural ecosystems. The string rail overpass can be laid over parks and recreational areas, as well as over objects with strict environmental requirements. The above-ground layout of the track structure does not disturb the terrain, the natural movement of ground and surface water, and preserves the soil, landscape and biodiversity of the areas.
At the same time, uPods operate on the most environmentally friendly power source – electricity – and are distinguished by high energy efficiency: the energy consumption of rail electric vehicles is 2–3 times lower than that of conventional modes of transportation on steel wheels or magnetic cushion; 5–7 times lower than that of motor transport, including electric vehicles on pneumatic tires. There are no exhaust gases, tire and asphalt wear products during the operation of uPods.
uST resolves the challenges of infrastructure integration
uST routes are easier to integrate into the already existing urban development compared to railroads or roads. This advantage of uST Solution will be especially relevant for cities with a lot of landmarks – heritage sites.
At the same time, the visual lightness and elevated nature of uST transport allow for its most seamless implementation on almost any terrain and routeing along the optimal trajectory. This makes it possible to overcome various obstacles (water obstacles, mountainous areas, gorges) without additional infrastructure structures – bridges and flyovers.
The implementation of uST technology will not only help to increase the popularity of cultural and historical sites and attract an additional flow of tourists, but will also bring the transport communication of the regions to a new level, which will have a positive impact on their economies.
Recall that now Unitsky String Technologies Inc. is developing a route to the waterfall, which is located in one of the countries of South Asia. The uST Solution should provide efficient transfer to the natural attraction and increase its attractiveness for travelers. Thanks to its visual lightness and technological exclusivity, the uST complex will aesthetically complement the uniqueness of the place and at the same time become an object of tourist interest itself.
