The invention relates to a two-way personalised elevated urban transport (TUEP) system, designed for a large transport capacity, which is suspended on a series of posts, without interfering with the surface traffic of vehicles and passers-by. The invention is characterised in that it has a continuous series of autonomous cabins which circulate on a tubular track suspended by static cables hanging between the posts. The system comprises elevated stations for the passengers, providing access to the suspended cabins which are moved by autonomous and independent electric motors rotating a powered block that goes round on the upper hump of a horizontal tubular track which is elevated or inclined according to the topography of the terrain. Said transport system is characterised in that each of the cabins, which only hold two passengers, goes directly to a station of destination wherein it branches off from the main flow towards a station, which means that it does not have to hold up the main flow of cabins, hence reducing the time required for the journey in spite of circulating at a low or moderate speed. |
