Though it is still under construction in many cities, it is the only hope for people who suffer from traffic on daily basis. <\/p>The main question is How do you add trains to a city without adding to traffic and setting up ugly concrete structures? and we are glad to share that an Indian engineer has found an amazing solution for this problem. <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1472120693888","data":"57bec782bf3e8"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1472120592944","data":"Ashwani Kumar Upadhyaya, a railways engineer has answered with his concept elevated \"Caterpillar Train\" (cTrain). Upadhyaya's thought won him the MIT Climate CoLab contest. <\/p>The arch-supported elevated cTrain concept was chosen the best solution, among 29 registrations in the Transportation section of MIT's challenge. <\/p>Upadhyaya's Mini Elevated cTrain is backed by thin arches that hold up 2 levels of cTrain traffic. Travelling at 62 miles per hour on elevated tracks, the cTrain rail cars are supported on arches that span a sidewalk. <\/p>"},{"type":"youtube","id":"vid-url-1472120685736","data":"N6u7N7YJ0Tk"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1472120629886","data":"This means that passengers can board and get off the rail cars without generating any pedestrian traffic. <\/p>Upadhyaya has exhibited the cTrain concept at the 14th World Conference on Transport Research in China and is set to grant it to leaders from businesses, non-profit organisations, governments, and communities via the MIT Climate CoLab Crowds & Climate Conference on the MIT campus in Boston.<\/p>We hope this kind of concept soon gets implemented in India <\/p>Kudos! <\/p>"}]
