When negotiating turns, the trackless sightseeing train places certain demands on the road surface, including its width, smoothness, compaction, and material composition. To ensure the safe operation of the train and a comfortable riding experience for passengers, the scenic‑area management should conduct regular inspections and maintenance to verify that the road surface meets the train’s operational requirements.
When negotiating turns, trackless sightseeing trains do have certain requirements for the road surface, which are primarily reflected in the following aspects:
1. Roadway Width: Trackless sightseeing trains are typically quite long, consisting of a locomotive and carriages, with a total length of around 15 meters. They also have a relatively large turning radius. Therefore, when negotiating turns, it is essential to ensure that the roadway is sufficiently wide to allow the train to complete the maneuver smoothly, thereby preventing scrapes or collisions caused by insufficient lane width.
2. Pavement Smoothness: The road surface should be smooth and free of potholes to ensure the miniature train can travel smoothly through curves, minimizing discomfort for passengers caused by bumps or vibrations, while also helping to protect the train’s suspension system and tires.
3. Pavement Compaction: The pavement shall be adequately compacted and free of settlement to prevent vehicle instability or loss of control during turns caused by pavement subsidence.
4. Pavement Material: The pavement material should possess adequate hardness and wear resistance to withstand the lateral forces and friction generated when the miniature train negotiates curves, thereby ensuring the pavement’s durability and safety.
In addition, when turning, drivers should reduce speed in advance, proceed slowly, and avoid sudden steering or abrupt braking. At the same time, they should closely monitor road conditions to ensure the turn is executed safely.
