About Sunglider Txheej Txheem Kev Thauj Mus Los Rau Pej Xeem
Sunglider yog ib qho txheej txheem kev thauj mus los rau pej xeem uas ua haujlwm nws tus kheej thiab siv hluav taws xob hnub ci rau cov nroog. Nws muaj cov tsheb thauj neeg thiab tsheb thauj khoom uas dai saum huab cua thiab ua haujlwm nws tus kheej, nrog rau cov tsheb npav me me ua haujlwm nws tus kheej hauv av. Txoj kev tsheb yog ua los ntawm glulam thiab txhawb nqa lub ru tsev hnub ci uas tsim tau li ntawm 120 feem pua ntawm lub zog uas xav tau rau tag nrho cov txheej txheem. Lub metro no raug tswj hwm los ntawm kev txawj ntse txawj ntse, ua rau muaj lub voj voog tsis xav tau kev tu txhua 3 feeb. Tag nrho cov tsheb raug luam 3D hauv cov chaw tsim khoom me me. Cov nqi peev thiab kev ua haujlwm raug txo kom tsawg kawg, ua rau kev caij tsheb pub dawb.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Sunglider is an autonomous, PV fuelled public transport system for urban areas. It consists of autonomous people & cargo movers and small autonomous busses on the ground. The track is glulam constructed and carries a PV roof generating 117% of the energy required for the entire system. The Metro is controlled by AI, creating a wait-free cycle of 3 minutes. All vehicles are 3 D printed in micro-factories. Investment and operation costs are drastically are drastically reduced, making the ride free
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The project is a prototype of a linear suspended rail system suitable for use in mainly medium-sized cities - regardless of climate.

- Production Technology
- The Sunglider system, based on Local Motors' bus Olli, incorporates an overhead chassis derived from roller coaster tech for noise reduction. Integrated Super-Caps charge energy at stops, with over 80% of vehicles 3D printed. Digitally parametric designed and manufactured in micro-factories by humans and cobots, they also serve maintenance. The track, with a 4.5m ground clearance and a total height of 9m, includes a semitransparent photovoltaic roof. Spaced 25-30m apart, pylons support barrier-free island stations. Named »Xylo-Solar«, the track is constructed from sustainable recycled glulam, transforming urban spaces underneath.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to create a public transportation system that not only would be economically viable in operation and construction but also seamlessly integrate with the urban fabric of densely populated areas.
- Research
- Sunglider: AI-Controlled Urban Transport
The Sunglider, managed by AI software, operates on a seamless 3-minute cycle, adjusting availability for passenger or cargo needs. Offering a free tariff for metro citizens, it's financially sustainable through diverse revenue streams, eliminating the need for municipal subsidies. - Inspiration
- The project envisions a true zero-fare urban transport accessible to all residents. Through innovative vehicle design, 3D printing manufacturing, advanced propulsion tech, autonomous AI-driven driving, and photoelectric fuel, we aim for profitable metro operation without ticket sales. This holistic approach revolutionizes urban mobility, fostering accessibility, sustainability, and economic viability for communities.
- Project Duration
- 2022-2024, Osnabrueck, Germany and worldwide
- Operation Flow
- The Sunglider operates through AI software, ensuring vehicles run on a wait-free cycle of 3 minutes. The AI efficiently manages vehicle availability, seamlessly transitioning between passenger and cargo transport as needed.
