Besides, the existing monorail system must have a large space to ensure passenger safety, resulting in excessive construction costs. The above-mentioned problems will be solved in the logistic transportation.
For example, the existing monorail traffic is for passenger transport, and the cost is affected by many factors as follows:
where W1 is the material and construction cost; W2 is the increased cost for vehicle comfort requirements; W3 is the increased cost of structure's noise influence on the surrounding environment; W4 is the increased cost for high vehicle speed requirements; and W5 is the increased cost of construction requirements for interior decoration and platform paving.

First, the principle of the maglev logistic monorail transportation system based on this patent will be demonstrated with reference to
For the maglev logistic monorail transportation system, the construction cost needs to consider the following factors:
where W1 is the material and construction cost; W2 is the increased cost for high vehicle speed requirements; and W3 is the increased cost of in-car and distribution station construction requirements.
Because it is cargo transportation, the vehicle comfort requirements, the structure's impact on surrounding noise and the construction costs will be relatively reduced.
At present, the existing monorail system is all single-mode monorail system. For example, only the lower space of the pier cover beam is used in the suspended monorail traffic and upper space of the pier cover beam is discarded, while in the straddle monorail traffic and maglev traffic, only the upper space is used and the lower space of the pier cover beam is discarded. Therefore, for this single-mode monorail transportation, the biggest problem is that the space utilization rate is too low. From the point of view of traffic level, only one level is used. The passenger flow of the traffic section is Q=q0, and q0 is the cross-section single-mode traffic passenger flow per unit time. The logistic flow of the traffic of the cross-section is W=w0·w0 is single-mode traffic volume per unit time.
In response to the above problems, combined with the actual situation and characteristics of monorail transportation, a lot of research and simulation has been conducted. Based on the existing theories and practical experience, this patent is proposed which considering the advantages of monorail transportation and the concept of elevated three-dimensional space.

The principle of the double-mode monorail system based on this patent will be demonstrated with reference to
The space is divided into two levels by a bridge pier cover beam structure, K1 and K2, the lower and upper levels of the cover beam. The lower and upper traffic levels are used to increase the cross-section passenger flow or logistic flow, and the cross-section passenger flow or logistic transportation capacity is improved.
In terms of passenger flow, the total passenger flow of a certain section is calculated as follows:
where q1 is the monorail traffic passenger flow in level K1; and q2 is the monorail traffic passenger flow in level K2.
Compared with the existing single-mode transportation system, the passenger transportation capacity of this patent has increased to the two-level space passenger transportation capacity, which is double the passenger flow transportation capacity of the existing single-mode transportation system.
In terms of logistics, the total logistic flow of a certain section is calculated as follows:
where w1 is the monorail traffic volume in level K1; and w2 is the monorail traffic volume in level K2.
Compared with the existing single-mode transportation system, the logistic transportation capacity of this patent has increased to a two-level spatial logistic transportation capacity, which is doubled compared to the existing single-mode transportation system. The double-mode monorail transportation can be operated in a same three-dimensional space, in which the problems of low space utilization rate and less level in current single-mode monorail system will be solved, and the goal of improving the double-mode monorail level will be truly achieved. The burden of ground transportation will be obviously reduced.
The double-mode monorail system is proposed in this patent, in which the double-mode monorail system can be adopted on the bridge pier line and integrated construction. The two monorails operate independently without mutual interference, in which the space utilization can be improved. This patent will be further explained with embodiments.

When loading, cargo 4d″, cargo 5d″, cargo 6d″, cargo 7d″, cargo 8d″, and cargo 9d″ are loaded by forklift 2d″ and forklift 3d″ into the logistic vehicle from the bottom. When unloading, the cargo 4d″, cargo 5d″, cargo 6d″, cargo 7d″, cargo 8d″ and cargo 9d″ are taken by forklift 2d″ and the forklift 3d″ from the logistic vehicle and transport them to the appropriate depository. It should be pointed out that the above is only the implementation mode. In the actual distribution station, the number of cranes is not only three, and the number of forklifts is not only two. The specific number of cranes and forklifts should be considered comprehensively according to the scale of the distribution station. In the suspended logistic monorail signal system, the suspended logistic monorail signal system comprises an unmanned driving system and a turnout control signal system. The suspended logistic monorail vehicle is controlled by the unmanned driving system to run according to the line conditions, and the suspended logistic monorail switch is controlled by the turnout control signal system to convert line according to the operation of the suspended logistic monorail vehicle to make the suspended logistic monorail vehicle travel along the target line.
