[Transformers] Riding in a Future "Dual-Mode Vehicle" that Runs on Rail and Road.

A DMV (Dual Mode Vehicle) is a rail vehicle that can travel on both tracks and roads and is an improved version of a microbus.
The Asa Coastal Railway in Tokushima Prefecture began operation on December 25, 2021.

心のこもってない「フィニッシュ」が聞けば聞くほど癖になる

[@hiroko6843]

モードチェンジ面白すぎる🤣 いつも動画配信有難うございます😄

[@klaushoegerl1187]

This technology is well known in Germany and was regularly used for passenger transport from 1953 to 1967. The maximum speed was 120 kmph (on railways) .

[@diedampfbrasse98]

The bus you refer to was lifted on and off railaxles each time it switch between the street and the rail, that wasnt the same technology. However, Unimog trucks and other industrial vehicles offer real dual mode technology for ages already, being used for shunting or firefighting on rail. So yes, its well known in Germany .. but not for passenger transports.

[@Locomotiveman1994]

The SchiStraBus might not have used the same system, but the concept was very much the same. And as with all those technologies from the past people try to sell as new and innovative, I doubt this will be anymore successful then the German original was...

[@konstantin88181]

I've seen those in my county as well ,but you know the drill: Everything is much cooler when it is in Japan=)

[@O550Sn94]

The U.S. has also used this technology back in the 1960s and 1970s in some communities with some dual mode units on school buses as well.

This technology has been used by RailWay Companies for years to inspect the rail lines. It only makes sense to use it for commercial applications. I know there are lots of places around the world that could benefit from a service like this. Remote areas could receive goods and medical services in a more timely manner. Commuter travel would increase with short but convenient service from outlying villages to large towns would greatly benefit from this service. If only Elon Musk or the Amazon guy were to invest in something like this, wouldn't that be more beneficial to to the human race?

[@suigintouivanhoe1167]

Elon Musk would not invest in any realistic public transport project, because it means less Tesla cars sold. An anyway he is too busy trolling on twitter.

Well, for starters rich oligarchs hold huge, diversified portfolios so this may well be something that one or both has money in. As for its utility for humanity? Well, it might make certain specific transit scenarios more efficient. Would that be more helpful than preventing the annihilation of Earth's remaining biosphere by building up the basic infrastructure and technical capability necessary to begin the looooong process of relocating ecosystem-devastating heavy industry off-world to biologically inert parts of our solar system, expanding our species resource access by orders of magnitude, allowing continued expansion of our species' industries and technological capabilities, and ensuring that we and our domesticated species are no longer subject to the cycle of mass extinctions that monoplanetary species are. I don't really think those are in the same category. It's a bit like comparing touching up your house's siding to saving for retirement, those are both good things but one is a lot longer term and much more impactful. If you're saying we should just spend all resources on right now and say "fuck the future", hell no, the "solve todays problems and screw tomorrow" attitude is how we ended up with a lot of the problems with have now. Whether it's the governments or the oligarchs, somebody needs to be working long-term goals and making long-term investments.

[@EwanMarshall]

@@suigintouivanhoe1167 Not quite, he would only invest in it if it is really poor throughput... Vegas Loop, rails, trains... nope. Separate people as much as possible is his choice.

[@Spooper_Kaitlin]

This is so fascinating!! It definitely seems convenient to be able to drive on the road and the rail tracks with the same vehicle. Thanks for sharing!! 😊

[@sinisterisrandom8537]

The concept isn't actually a new idea. Back in the interwar period(after ww1 before ww2) concepts, designs and vehicles were actually built and tested with the idea of having wheels but also having tracks so it could go though rough terrain but be fast on concrete areas. It is cool though to see the idea has not been forgotten and is being now utilized.

The UK railways experimented with this for freight back in the 60s or 70s so nothing new. It was called the Roadrailer.

I saw this train on the news the other day, it's pretty cool (though does seem somewhat low cost-performance). Thanks for sharing it so detailed!

it's an amazing idea and i wish them luck. hopefully, this kind of transit becomes available everywhere

[@RegebroRepairs]

The on-off ramps are clever, when they had this technology when I was a kid in Sweden, it was done on road/train crossings, and I think you needed to line up the car very well, manually. This makes it much more useful for transport.

[@SamSitar]

boston ma has two power conversion places. their blue line changes between overhead power lines and third rail at logan airport. their silver line has a similar transition between diesel and power lines at silver line way.

[@ewengillies9826]

This has to be one of the most interesting concepts I have seen. We have small versions in Australia for rail track workers but nothing commercial or as forward thinking as this is. Thank you I can visualize long range uses here. Bushyboy Oz.

[@craigalexp]

I was thinking the same while watching this. Pity our government isn't as forward thinking.

[@darylvogel8991]

Couldn't do it most American cities, would get run over by all the commercial freight and they would have to put special rail lines in... Most big cities have subways and busing systems and they are good at connecting them together... I can see maybe way out in rural areas connecting small towns... A lot of logistics need to make it all work out...

[@gusdrivinginaustralia6168]

Put these on country lines that don't warrant full train services, Melbourne to Mildura etc. Road buses aren't nice.

[@ballyhigh11]

I think you're thinking of railcars. NIR did have a genuine railbus, but it was pretty damn awful. Literally a crappy Leyland bus (actually two spliced together!) plonked on top of bogies. The ride quality was awful (very bouncy), it only had one door and could only operate evening services as it was too small for busier times of the day.

[@stampycatfan01lol]

Very nice video! Coming from the US, the concept is certainly interesting, although the technology itself is nothing new. Many railroads here have pickup trucks and even commercial trucks (i.e. crane trucks, track inspection trucks, etc.) that have retractable wheels to allow them to run on both road and rail. That said, despite the fact that we’ve also had rail vehicles built around a bus in the past (see the “Galloping Goose”, for example), I’m not entirely sure if there was ever a bus that had the ability to run on both road AND rail, so this could very well be a first (and certainly so for Japan).

[@cartoonkeeper]

What would probably make this more efficient once technology permits is for the vehicles to be able to convert from road to rail and Back Again without having to come to a full and complete stop prior to starting the conversion and being able to transfer between modes at speed

This technology is inferior to proper trains, that's why it never caught on despite being around for almost century, you can just switch into a bus where there are no train tracks.

[@izzieb]

The UK had rail buses, both of this variety and buses on railway wheels (the infamous Pacers). To say neither were popular would be an understatement.

[@Brettski_1234]

Reminds me of the Obahn guided busway in Adelaide

[@SeverityOne]

Cool, but hardly a world first. Something similar was used in Europe since the 1940s, although nowadays there aren't any remaining systems. There are special vehicles such as trucks that are dual mode, but those are purely for maintenance.

[@CubeAtlantic]

This type of technology/bus is so unique.

[@peterjackson2625]

Idea is probably about 90 years old.

[@diedampfbrasse98]

aye, nothing unique about it. Quiet a number of dual mode busses went through testing lines over the past 100 years ... but outside from industrial applications it never was economical to run such dual mode vehicles. The technology itself is proven and developed for ages. Unimogs trucks having dual mode for shunting operations are able to handle 1000tons of railcars by now.

[@user-rk9lv5zz8t]

ところで、このアイデアはとても魅力的ですね🤔。 よくやった日本人 👍

[@yuudati_ch]

日本だけではなく、イギリスやアメリカ等でも開発自体はされていたのですが、日本以外では技術不足による故障の頻発・自家用車等の普及・一部区間で起こる自治体とのいざこざ・開発した企業の不祥事による開発中止、開発停止などにより実用化されても短命だった車両がほとんどだったんですよ。 このDMVもある意味開発したはいいもののこのDMVを走らせる為に必要な軌道回路が既存のものは鉄道車両専用で、DMVには使用不可のため、DMV専用の保安装置を使用した為に既存の鉄道車両が使用不可になっています。
