There are so many great advantages of using the overhead conductor rail system for transportation. It is a clean and silent form of propulsion in the first place. The overhead conductor rail system, as opposed to vehicles that run on gasoline or diesel and can cause air pollution emissions (Figure 56), has zero harmful production. This is much healthful for our environment. Also, because it runs on electric power you will hear very minimal sound compared to traveling by combustion engine counterparts which means a much smoother ride.
Another benefit of the system is that it operates very effective. The electricity is delivered to the vehicles in a fast and uniform way which means that this system is faster than some other transportation systems. This allows vehicles to move at a higher speed and less congestion, people are behind the wheel much lesser amount of time. In our everyday lives, this does have an impact and may benefit us in all sorts of processes such as a faster processing to access directly there where we want.
The third part is the sub-station, which helps controlling electricity in its proper way and let it flow through all of the conductor rails situated above ground. Power is sourced from main and converts this power into the appropriate voltage level for correct operation of system. That way everything goes well and, above all, safely.
New ideas continue to come up thick and fast that are designed even better the overhead conductor rail system. This includes the incorporation of exotic materials in both wires and support systems. The overhead system is lighter for vehicles, so they can move faster, with less energy. This also reduce the overhead associated with building and maintaining this system.
Use of Smart Technology - this is another significant innovation. By using this sophisticated technology, we can track the overhead conductor rail system all in real-time. It is able to adjust and increase performance in accordance with the current flow of traffic, as well as weather conditions. So the system can be even more efficient and meet passenger needs, faster.
Overhead conductor rail system is easy to manage and technologies used here make such a become neat & clean public transport. It has much lower emissions than conventional fuel-powered vehicles, simply because it is electricity run. This means it produces much less CO2 than diesel and petrol, making it a greener alternative for transporting people around cities. It also functions very well, which reduces travel time and the potential for traffic jams.
The overhead conductor rail system is also an economical choice for public transport, to add. Economically, it requires much less maintenance than other forms of public transit which is thus lower cost. As a result of this, not only is electricity very low cost relative to gasoline or diesel fuel (especially since almost no one makes their own gas), but generally extremely reliable. Getting a lower cost to passengers, which is good for all of us using transit.
