1 Answers
Yancheng SRT is a Super Virtual Rail Transit system. Features of SRT: It is an ultra-rail transit vehicle (approximately 36 meters long) that operates on virtual ground tracks, combining the advantages of rail transit and conventional buses. Integrating "low cost, medium capacity, intelligence, environmental friendliness, and convenience," it is a new type of rail transit system between trams and BRT. As a national new infrastructure project, it is also a next-generation 5G intelligent urban rail transit product, featuring pollution-free operation, no noise, high passenger capacity, low cost, and short construction cycles. Functions of SRT: SRT does not require laying steel rails; it operates along virtual tracks using the Beidou Navigation System and video guidance, ensuring good compatibility with bus systems and significantly reducing infrastructure costs. The investment cost is only 1/6 to 1/7 of that of trams. This bus system only supports electronic ticketing (E-Ticket) (card payment), with no onboard attendants. The SRT bus system has an automatic announcement function, automatically announcing station names and stops upon arrival without manual intervention.
