Rolling stock

uST Transport & Infrastructure Complexes ensure passenger and cargo transportation by means of rolling stock, namely, unmanned steel-wheeled rail electric cars (uPods).

Rail electric uPods can be roughly divided into three basic modules:

  • traction module
  • functional module (cargo/passenger/cargo and passenger)
  • onboard control system (OCS)

The traction module provides all travel modes of uPod along the track structure of the transport complex. The traction module includes:

  • traction drive system
  • braking system
  • heading-hold system
  • vehicle evacuation system and fire extinguishing system

The passenger module is designed to locate passengers and their luggage, protect and create a safe and comfortable environment for their stay inside while traveling and at stops, including emergency ones. The passenger module includes:

  • entrance system (door system)
  • interior with seats (if needed), handrails, handicapped space
  • ventilation and microclimate system
  • lighting system (working and emergency)
  • passenger information system (video and duplex communication with the operator)
  • information plates, indicator lights
  • passenger evacuation system to the ground
  • fire fighting equipment (fire extinguishers)

Onboard control system (OCS) is a set of hardware and software designed to control uPod and ensure safe traffic conditions.

OCS consists of several functional systems that perform all necessary control and safety functions:

  • automatic uPod protection system
  • automatic uPod train operation (ATO)
  • automatic uPod train control and management system (TCMS)

Implemented Configurations of Rail Electric Vehicles

UST Inc. developed a set of generic (tested and certified) structural and technological solutions for the creation of uST Transport Complexes. They allow performing various tasks in passenger and cargo transportation. Depending on customer requests and climatic conditions, uST rolling stock can come in different configurations. When coupled in small trains, the passenger models of uPods can carry up to 50,000 people per hour. Cargo transport is capable of handling up to 100 million tons pef cargo per year.

uPods, including those assembled in trains, can have different capacities – from 2 to 250 passengers. Their design allows the individual modules to be coupled into a single train through a rigid or electronic coupler. The number of sections and their capacity depends on the expected passenger flow. The vehicles are driven by the electric traction drive. Automated control system ensures speed and route control. The maximum speed is 150 km/h.

uST transport can handle different types of cargo: bulk (loose), liquid, breakbulk, special, as well as sea containers of 20 to 40 feet in nominal length. Their loading and unloading is automatic. The maximum speed of transportation is 150 km/h. Automated control system ensures speed and route control.

uBike U4-621

Double-rail suspended passenger uPod of small capacity. In the basic configuration, the seats are located sequentially providing zoning of seats and an increased comfort. The optimal weight of uBike allows to use it on a lightweight track structure, that makes it possible to use this transport as part of complexes with a minimum material consumption of the structure. uBike can be used for transportation in recreation areas, on tourist and other routes. In addition to on-board (and external) energy sources, it is possible to install a bicycle generator, thanks to which uBike can be driven by the passengers’ muscular power.
