Title: Electric transportation in environmentally planned city of tomorrow. Paper No. 7788

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6701594

A discussion is given of the operation of the electric monorail trains at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. The all-electric trains are powered by eight 600 V dc motors and use an air suspension system providing excellent riding qualities. A key factor in the overall efficiency is the loading and unloading technique in which the passengers step onto a moving circular platform which is synchronized to the speed of the vehicles being loaded.
