Concepts and demonstrators for branch line reactivation with MONOCAB

Transfer manager at Technische Hochschule Ostwestfalen-Lippe

Lemgo, Germany

About

We work on concepts and demonstrators for reactivating regional branch lines with innovative vehicle and operation concepts. The core demonstrator is MONOCAB, a self balancing automated monorail vehicle designed to operate on existing single track branch lines with high frequency and low infrastructure investment.

Our expertise covers system concept development, vehicle and infrastructure requirements, operational concepts, safety and signalling interfaces at a conceptual level, and the integration into regional mobility systems. We also build and operate physical demonstrators and test segments together with local stakeholders in Germany.

We seek collaboration with operators, infrastructure managers, regional authorities, suppliers and research organisations that are interested in new solutions for branch line reactivation, low cost automation and better use of existing rail assets.
