Abstract
Straddle monorail, using rubber wheels and precast concrete track beams, is a kind of distinctive urban rail transit system, featured with strong climbing capability, small turning radius, less land occupation, low noise, moderate volume, and low cost. Those unique technical characteristics have played an important role in Chongqing urban rail transit lines. Chongqing provides a typical demonstration project, and straddle monorail transit system will be a favorite urban rail transit system for our other mountain cities, landscape cities, coastal cities, historical and cultural cities, etc. And it has laid a good foundation and favorable conditions for further popularization and application of straddle monorail transit system.
