CBSE Science Fair Exhibition Project, “ Intra-city transport easier” Theme “ Transport & Communication” for Class 9, Class 10 and 12

Project Name : Intra-city transport easier

Theme Name : Transport & Communication

Over Road Transport System (Maglev) Over Road Transport System is a new concept for the transportation in the metropolitan cities of India and could help a lot to make intra-city transport easier by saving time. It could also be used as metros in cities or connecting different cities.

Principle: In this principle of maglev train will be utilized to move the transport system. Maglev is a method of propulsion that uses magnetic levitation to propel vehicles with magnets rather than with wheels, axles and bearings. Using maglev a vehicle could be lifted a short distance using magnets and creates both lift and thrust.

Working: The tracks of the transport system will be installed on both the side of the road. Then on these magnetic tracks the dome shaped or reversed “U” shaped structure would be installed on which after that cubicle for seating of the passengers would be installed. Magnetic tracks when switched on will levitate the dome shaped structure by magnetic levitation and will allow it to move in any direction. There would be overhead stations for the passengers to get into the transport system.

Advantages:

This would save the money for laying down of more track and clearing of space as its tracks are built on the sides of road and will require the base of road as foundation.

It will require less space as in comparison for the creating of new transport system.

It will reduce the maintenance expense as the conventional wheel vehicle produce lot of friction and get wearied off.

It would be silent and save a lot of fuel as it would be run on electricity which could be
produced through solar energy.

The energy utilized while accelerating the system would be regenerated while slowing down by using the process of regenerative braking.

It can move on high speed which is restricted in wheel based vehicle in traffic.

Due to being levitated in air they do not experience any rolling friction leaving only the air friction which improves its power efficiency thus saving fuel.

It could be utilized in all the weather as it will be unaffected by high or low temperatures, snow, ice, rain etc.

It would be computer operated so the possibility of human error would also be reduced to a minimum.
