Description

• Transferium and method for connecting it

The invention relates to a transferium and a method for applying a transferium.

Many people go to and from a city with their own transport. This generates large traffic flows on the highway to the city, which must be handled upon entering this city. Moreover, these cars must be parked in the city, preferably as close as possible to the destination. This in turn leads to parking problems.

A solution to this problem is the construction of transferia in the vicinity of cities. These transferia serve to accommodate the incoming traffic flow and to bring people to their destination in the city by public transport. A large parking space is created in this area near a city, and public transport is offered for transport of people from the transferium to and in the city.

A problem with known transferia is that it is often difficult to find a suitable location for the construction thereof. After all, a free ground surface is needed. In addition, that ground surface must be accessible for, preferably as many forms of, public transport as possible.

The invention has for its object to provide a transferium 1024262

offer that does not have the above disadvantages. The invention I

to that end relates to a transferium, comprising

a span over an existing motorway, a multi-layer I

parking facility at this span, and entrances and exits I

5 for leading from the motorway to the parking facility I

of cars. The invention further relates to a method I

for constructing a transferium, wherein a transfer I

voltage is applied on a motorway next to an I

secondary road intersecting secondary road, on the I

10 span a multi-layer parking garage is built and I

public transport stops are installed near the parking garage

craze. I

By constructing a transferium on a transfer

voltage across an existing road the transferium does not take I

15 extra space. Moreover, it is very close to the car I

located away from the road, so when transferring the car to an I

(other) form of (public) transport or otherwise regulated I

money for mass transport, the least possible loss of time occurs. I

All the more so since there are entrances and exits from the motorway I

20 lead to the parking facility. I

In an embodiment of the transferium I

according to the invention, in addition to the span, an I

secondary road intersecting secondary road present. I

This makes it easy for people to park from the parking facility

Transported further, in particular in a manner I

which has the least possible impact on the motorway. In another I

In one embodiment, the motorway is crossed by an I

train tracks, or another traffic route. I

In one embodiment the span is located

30 against the secondary road. This creates a so I

Minimal possible disruption of the existing infrastructure

time. Moreover, people can easily be transported further I

to a final destination without taxing the motorway

. In an embodiment thereof, the op and I form

35 exits a connection between the motorway and the secondary I

away. This allows a large part of existing infrastructure

be used. Moreover, this makes it simple to use an I

3 to realize routing from the motorway to the parking facility. In one embodiment thereof, the transferium comprises public transport stops near, preferably next to or in, the parking facility. As a result, a transfer time is shortened, and people need to be moved as little as possible.

In one embodiment, the public transport stops are arranged for transport on or along the secondary road. As a result, the traffic pressure of the motorway 10 can be removed.

In an embodiment of the transferium according to the invention, the parking facility comprises a multi-layer parking garage. This means that many parking spaces can be realized on a small ground surface. As a result, in combination with the span, very many vehicles can be parked on a ground surface that was actually already in use.

The invention is further elucidated on the basis of an exemplary embodiment of a transferium according to the invention. Herein is shown in figure 1 an uneven floor crossing; figure 2 the application of a span over an existing motorway of the single-storey intersection; Figure 3 the application of a new ground level to the span; Figure 4 shows the construction of a modular multi-layer parking facility on the span; Figure 5 is a ground-level crossing; Figure 6 the diversion of a road to uneven floor crossing; and figure 7 shows two spans with two opposite parking facilities.

Figure 1 shows an uneven level intersection of motorways 1 with a secondary road 2. Exits 3 are also present to go from the motorway 1 to the secondary road. The secondary wedge 2 becomes 1024262

I motorway guided through a viaduct 4. Such an I

The situation is very common in the Netherlands. This way the I

I motorway 1 is a ring road around a city and the secondary I

re road 2 a highway that leads into the city from the motorway. I

Figure 2 shows a first phase of installation I

Figure 3 shows the next phase in the installation I

I of a transferium according to the invention, wherein the I

I topside of the span is leveled so that I

I then has a building surface 7. This building area 7 I

I the viaduct 4. I

According to a preferred embodiment of the invention

As shown in Figure 4, the device becomes a modular I

I build a parking facility with a very large I

I can drive to a city via the exit 3 I

I simply turn off the highway and arrive directly in the I

I or a tram or possibly even an electrically manned than I

I have an unmanned vehicle that takes the passengers from the car to I

I brings a place of destination, or to, for example, an I

I station, airport, or the like. I

5 intersection as shown in figure 5. A main road 4 is present which is crossed at the same height by a second road 2. Figure 6 shows a first phase of improving the traffic infrastructure, whereby the intersecting road 2 is raised so that it will be at an unequal height with respect to traffic road 1. This road is then led over the traffic road 1 by means of a viaduct and the transferium according to the invention can then be constructed.

Figure 7 shows an embodiment of the invention, in which spans are applied on either side of a viaduct, and a multi-layered parking facility is arranged on either side of the viaduct.

It will be clear that the above description has been included to illustrate the operation of preferred embodiments of the invention, and not to limit the scope of the invention. The scope of the invention is only limited by the claims below. Starting from the above explanation, many variations will be evident to those skilled in the art that fall within the spirit and scope of the present invention.
