Abstract: A bogie for a rail-based vehicle, such as a train or tram. The bogie comprises one or more rail wheel arrangements, each having two rail wheels. The rail wheels are driven by a motor arrangement, comprising one or more electrical motors. The operation of the motor arrangement is controlled by alternating signals provided by an inverter arrangement formed in the bogie. The inverter arrangements converts a direct current (power supply) to one or more alternating currents, or one or more alternating current power supplies, for controlling the torque applied by the electrical motor(s) of the motor arrangement.

Abstract: Track and more particularly slabs (1) for a light railway track in which the slab comprises a convex end (2) and a concave end (3) which are generally concentric and reciprocal to each other such that in use the convex end of one slab and engage the concave end of another slab with the respective slabs at an angle to each other. The slabs are secured together to provided straight and curved sections with a modular slab shape and allowing other features for monitoring and/or improved operation.

Abstract: A charging arrangement for a mass transit vehicle, the charging arrangement including at least one conductive portion and a safety arrangement, wherein the at least one conductive portion is configured to deliver charging to a mass transit vehicle at a level of at least 500 kW, and the safety arrangement is configured to activate the conductive portion if a mass transit vehicle is detected.

Abstract: An aspect provides a bogie for a vehicle, including: a bogie support frame including a first portion and a second portion, the first portion being mountable to the vehicle body; a suspension system connecting the first portion and second portion; at least one wheelset mounted on the second portion, each wheelset including two or more wheels mounted on a wheel axle; and an actuator for providing torque to the two or more wheels, wherein upon the first portion of the bogie support frame the actuator. The bogie allowing independent operation in terms of movement as well as positioning and collision avoidance with sensors for macro positioning such as GPS, micro positioning such as by LIDAR and for dynamic anti-collision monitoring such as RADAR.

Abstract: A steering system for a multi-car mass transit vehicle, the steering system providing a four-wheel Ackermann-type system for providing improved manoeuvrability of each car and bi-directional travel, with each car accurately following the path of the car in front when travelling in either a forward or backward direction. Alternatively, there is provided: an intermediate carriage for a multi-carriage vehicle, the intermediate carriage configured to connect to first and second carriages, and the intermediate carriage including a steering input and a steering output, such that the steering input is configured to accept a steering input from the first carriage, and the steering output is configured to provide a steering output to the second carriage. Further alternatively, there is provided a tyre-wheeled bogie arrangement for a vehicle, the bogie arrangement including a bogie body and at least one wheel including a tyre.

Abstract: A side wall assembly and associated cantrail of a light mass transit vehicle, the side wall assembly may be lightweight, strong and safe and the inclusion of panels in the assembly is easily adaptable. The cantrail may be more lightweight than typical cantrails while maintaining suitable rigidity and strength required to support a roof, and associated items mounted on a roof, and securely connect to a side wall assembly of a light mass transit vehicle.
