Abstract
Alstom signed a contract for more than €500 million with the Royal Commission for AlUla for AlUla’s pioneering battery-powered tramway, the world’s longest catenary-free line. The fully integrated Alstom tramway system will feature 20 state-of-the-art Citadis B battery trams, as shown in Figure 1
. The 22.4-km line will encapsulate richness, history, and green mobility like no other, linking 17 strategically located stations, offering unmatched access to AlUla’s five core historical districts, including UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as AlUla Old Town (District 1), Dadan (District 2), Jabal Ikmah (District 3), Nabataean Horizon (District 4), and Hegra Historical City (District 5).
期刊介绍:
IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine is a premier publication that features peer-reviewed articles showcasing advancements in areas of interest to the IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. Our scope encompasses theoretical, experimental, application, and operational aspects of electrical and electronic engineering relevant to motor vehicles and associated land transportation infrastructure. This includes technologies for terrestrial mobile vehicular services, components, systems, and auxiliary functions within motor vehicles, as well as components and systems used in both automated and non-automated facets of ground transport technology. The magazine focuses on intra-vehicular components, systems, and applications, offering tutorials, surveys, coverage of emerging technology, and serving as a platform for communication between the IEEE VTS governing body and its membership. Join us in exploring the latest developments in vehicular technology.
