The bi-modal tram is under development as a new public transportation. The features of the tram are an extended wheel base and its length. This features result in difficulties for drivers on maneuvering the tram. Therefore, the all wheel steering system is applied to the articulated vehicle. The AWS system enables the vehicle to steer all the rear wheels independently and improves its driving characteristics. However, the bi-modal tram has a problem to move backward in the limited place because of its geometric feature and the AWS system. Hence, the reverse parking assistant algorithm for articulated vehicle is developed to solve the problems of the reverse parking. Using the vehicle model which includes the reverse parking assistant algorithm, the dynamic analysis is performed for several parking cases. By the result of the analysis, the stability and validity of the reverse parking assistant algorithm is verified.

In this study, the first and second electronically controlled cooling systems for a bimodal tram were developed. The performance characteristics of the cooling systems were assessed experimentally with actual and identical conditions, and a simulation was run using ANSYS Fluent. The results of the experimental and FEA method were standardized. In order to confirm the reliability of the experimental method, the experiment was carried out by a testing institution. The low-volume flow-rate condition was found to be better, but the cooling system performed in a minimal condition. Therefore, it is important to find the optimum performance levels. The cooling system equipment was revised to determine the optimized design parameters, after which the cooling performance levels increased at the radiation area. Specifically, with a greater fan diameter. Through this study, the newly developed cooling system will be reevaluated after being mounted on an actual bimodal tram. This will lead to a completely domestically produced bi-modal tram cooling system.

A bimodal low-floor tram can provide the punctuality of trains and the flexibility of bus together to the passengers. Its propulsion system is a series hybrid type using a set of CNG engine generator and Li-polymer battery. This paper presents a development of the measurement equipment for fine-tuning of a series hybrid propulsion system of bimodal low-floor tram. Its configuration schemes are described and certified using the measurement data of bimodal low-floor tram.

While past traffic laws have focused on solving problems related to traffic congestion, the current legislation must play a role in reducing the social cost of solving traffic problems by forecasting future issues based on current traffic situations, setting goals in advance, and leading the traffic modal choice-trend. This paper verifies that the bimodal tram should be an alternative means of public transportation and proposes ways to introduce and promote it based on a government subsidy and the modification of traffic laws.
