Description

  The present invention relates to an expressway facility and an expressway vehicle transport facility as an automobile transportation system using the expressway.

  In recent years, huge hurricanes / typhoons due to abnormal weather, temperature rises, etc. have occurred around the world, and the prevention of global warming has become a familiar issue. The Kyoto Protocol was voted at the Kyoto Conference on Global Warming Prevention in 1997, and various countries in the developed countries have started various initiatives. Japan also ratified the 2002 Kyoto Protocol Target Achievement Plan, and set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6% compared to 1990 during the period from 2008 to 2012.

  In Japan, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the Ministry of the Environment, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism are responsible for the development of next-generation eco cars such as electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, and the development of alternative fuels in the transportation sector, which accounts for approximately 20% of total CO2 emissions. Measures such as switching to energy-saving transportation (railway) are being promoted, but total CO2 emissions in FY2005 were calculated to be 1,360 million tons, which was calculated in FY2004 (1,250 million tons) (environment Ministry of Greenhouse Gas Emissions / Absorption Inventory)), and the development of social infrastructure is also an urgent need from this point.

  In the development of electric vehicles, Li-ion batteries are being actively developed as batteries (capacitors) that have a large capacity and can be charged in a short time. However, Li-ion batteries are currently large and expensive, and only a part of electric vehicles for commuters that are intended for urban driving have been put into practical use. Is scheduled for practical use around 2030 (see Non-Patent Document 1).

  In addition, development and demonstration experiments of hydrogen-fueled vehicles have begun as fuel cell vehicles, but the price of fuel cell vehicles is about 20 times higher than that of gasoline vehicles. It must be said that there are significant barriers to dissemination such as maintenance and consideration of safety by installing high-pressure gas.

  The use of bioethanol fuel as an alternative fuel has begun, but since the raw material grains are used for fuel production, the price of food is rising, and the production price of biofuel is higher than that of gasoline. There are many problems with typical applications.

  A modal shift has been proposed to switch freight transportation from trucks to rail transport with low CO2 emissions. In Japan, products that have been switched to rail transport have been granted Eco Rail Mark certification, but freight transshipment is necessary. However, there are restrictions on the location and time of transshipment, the speed and convenience of truck transportation in terms of cost cannot be surpassed, and the transportation volume by rail freight seems to decrease.

  In addition, a traffic / conveyance system in which an automobile or a container is mounted on a dedicated carriage on an expressway and the carriage travels and steers on the expressway instead of the automobile has been proposed (Patent Document 1). Similar to the modal shift used, it is necessary to reload and reship cars and cargo, which impairs the convenience of automobile traffic. Furthermore, in Non-Patent Document 1, it is proposed to reduce the air resistance of the following vehicle and increase the running efficiency by running the cargo truck in a row on the highway, but the engine of the automobile and the cargo truck itself is used. It is difficult to drastically reduce CO2 because it travels.

  The usage forms of automobiles are roughly classified into urban travel within a range of 100 km and long distance travel using an expressway. In urban driving, there are different driving patterns for each user in collection, delivery, commuting, shopping, etc., and frequent acceleration / deceleration occurs. At present, there is no convenient means of transportation over automobiles in this urban area. However, in highway driving, all vehicles run at a constant speed of about 100 km / h, except for getting on and off ordinary roads at each interchange, so switching to efficient transportation by modal transport (modal shift) Is possible.

  Until now, modal shift is a method in which the entire vehicle and cargo of individual automobiles are transferred to another transportation system, such as a railway vehicle. There is a problem that the convenience of being able to run anytime and anywhere for replacement is impaired.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2. Solve the various problems and issues of the conventional means of transportation described above, significantly reduce CO2 emissions from motor vehicles (private cars, trucks, buses, etc.) on the highway, and create an energy efficient highway transportation system It is another object of the present invention to provide a convenient driving mode transition (modal shift) that does not require the replacement of automobile vehicles and the transshipment of cargo between general road traveling and highway traveling in the transportation system. As a result, development of a highway vehicle transport device is underway.

  The highway vehicle conveyance device described in Patent Document 2 uses an expressway guide rail provided in parallel with the traveling lane of the expressway on the central separation side of the expressway as a dedicated travel path, and the expressway guide rail The first feature is that the highway vehicle transport device that travels by receiving power supply from the power supply line laid along the road is towing and transporting the automobile vehicle.

  In addition, the highway vehicle conveyance device described in Patent Document 2 is a highway vehicle among a vehicle body, traveling wheels (tires), a steering mechanism (handle, etc.), and a drive mechanism (engine) that are main components of an automobile vehicle. In this case, the transport mechanism (highway vehicle transport device) that provides only the drive mechanism in the present invention is responsible for the vehicle body, traveling wheels (tires), and the steering mechanism that carry people and cargo. The second feature is that the vehicle is driven by the transportation.

  The outline | summary of the highway vehicle conveyance apparatus shown by patent document 2 is shown in FIGS. FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining a moving method on a highway using the conventional vehicle transport device described in Patent Document 1. In FIG.

  At present, the highway guide rail 3 according to the present invention is installed in parallel with the vehicle traveling path 6 in the space where the guard rail and guard post on the side of the central separation zone 2 of the highway 1 are installed. On the highway guide rail 3, a plurality of vehicle transport devices 5 travel at a constant speed at the maximum allowable speed of the highway 1 (100 km / h in Japan) while maintaining a constant longitudinal interval. The vehicle transport device 5 has a brace 9 on the side of the automobile vehicle running path 6, and is configured such that the automobile vehicle 4 can be towed with the brace 9.

  The automobile vehicle 4 entering from the interchange approach path 7 of the highway 1 approaches the arm 9 of the vehicle transport device 5 that travels at a constant speed, and the vehicle coupling device 10 (details will be described later) in response to an instruction from the automobile vehicle 4 side. The arm 9 is connected using After the automobile vehicle 4 is connected to the arm 9, the driver of the automobile vehicle 4 enters a traction running state by the vehicle transport device 5 with the driving device of the automobile vehicle 4 in a free run (neutral) state.

  When the automobile vehicle 4 reaches the vicinity of the destination interchange, the driver changes the driving device of the automobile vehicle 4 from the free-run state to the driving state, and matches the traveling speed with the traveling speed of the vehicle transport device 5. Thereafter, the connection between the arm 9 and the vehicle coupling device 10 is released in accordance with an instruction from the automobile vehicle 4 side. The driver of the automobile vehicle 4 leaves the automobile vehicle 4 from the brace 9 and exits from the destination interchange exit path 8 via the low-speed side travel path 6 of the highway 1. Thus, the driver of the automobile vehicle 4 can freely use the expressway vehicle transport facility anytime and anywhere with a free will, and a convenient modal shift is provided.

  In the conventional example shown in FIG. 6, the arm 9 has a structure in which the automobile vehicle 4 traveling on the highway 1 can capture and connect the arm 9 using the vehicle coupler 10 attached to the vehicle side. The structure which captures the motor vehicle 4 by the side may be sufficient, and if the structure which can connect the motor vehicle 4 and the vehicle conveyance apparatus 5 with the will of the driver | operator of the motor vehicle 4, the same effect can be achieved.

  A total of eight linear gap rollers 47 are attached to the upper and lower portions of the vehicle transport device 5. These rollers 47 allow the vehicle transport device 5 to run smoothly inside the guide rail 3 while suppressing lateral vibrations on the left and right sides, and between the reaction plate 41 laid on the guide rail 3 and the vehicle transport device 5. The interval is kept constant. By using the traveling roller 46 and the linear gap roller 47, as a highway traffic system including the guide rail 3 and the vehicle transport device 5, a system that stably pulls the automobile vehicle with less vibration and noise can be obtained. it can.

  A brace 9 and an operation unit 54 are attached to the side surface of the vehicle transport device 5 on the side of the vehicle traveling path 6. A communication mechanism 20 and a display mechanism 23 are attached to the arm 9 of the vehicle transport device 5. The communication mechanism 20 and the display mechanism 23 are used for communication and display confirmation with the ETC terminal 33 mounted on the automobile vehicle 4 that uses the vehicle transport device 5. The operation unit 54 is provided with a charging mechanism 19 for the automobile vehicle 4 towed by the vehicle transport device 5 and an emergency stop mechanism 27. The charging mechanism 19 is used by the driver of the automobile vehicle 4 to charge the battery (storage battery) 34 of the automobile vehicle 4. Further, the emergency stop mechanism 27 is used to emergency stop the vehicle transport device 5.

  FIG. 8 is a plan view showing the vehicle transport device stacker 11. A vehicle transport device stacker 11 is provided at the end of the highway 1. The vehicle transport device stacker 11 accommodates the vehicle transport device 5 that travels on the guide rail 3 on the entry side to the stacker 11, supplies the vehicle transport device 5 to the guide rail 3 on the advance side from the stacker 11, In the unlikely event that there is an automobile vehicle 4 that cannot be detached from the vehicle transport device 5 by the end of the expressway and remains, the remaining automobile vehicle 4 is placed in the remaining vehicle placement mechanism 31 in the stacker 11. A position marker 43 indicating that the end of the highway is approaching is installed on the guide rail 3 on the approach side of the vehicle transport device stacker 11, and the vehicle transport device 5 passing over the position marker 43 is When the end detection mechanism 25 receives a signal from the position marker 43, the end detection mechanism 25 recognizes that the end of the highway 1 is approaching.

  Recognizing that the end of the highway 1 is approaching, the vehicle transport device 5 decelerates by the speed limiting mechanism 26 and reduces the distance allowable range of the front distance measuring mechanism 24 to approach the vehicle transport device 5 traveling forward. And run. In this case, since the speed is low, the distance between the front and rear vehicle transport devices 5 is reduced to a distance shorter than the allowable safe distance between the two vehicle transport devices 5 in the high speed travel state on the highway 1. Is acceptable. As a result, the vehicle transport device 5 can be brought closer to the vehicle transport device stacker 11 at approximately the same time interval as in the high-speed traveling state and at a moderate speed.

  In order to supply the vehicle transfer device 5 to the highway 1 or to collect the vehicle transfer device 5 from the highway 1, the vehicle transfer device stacker 11 has a mechanism for storing a plurality of vehicle transfer devices 5. Further, the vehicle transport device stacker 11 is usually installed at both terminal portions of the vehicle transport equipment, connected to the terminal rail 3 on the side toward the terminal portion, and accommodates the vehicle transport device 5 reaching the terminal portion.
