Because the purpose of these motors is to pump air, not drive the vehicle wheels, maintenance requirements are minimum and greatly simplified because the power plant is remote and stationary. Operation is fully automatic. No drivers are required on-board. High reliability automation systems are used for protection, control and supervision of the vehicle operation. The enclosed propulsion plate is rigidly attached underneath the vehicle preventing derailment.
Steel wheels combined with lightweight vehicles ensure reduced noise and vibration levels.
The vehicle is fully compliant with NFPA, ADA and other U.S . When requested, the Aeromovel vehicles will be outfitted with modern, efficient roof mounted HVAC units. These optional units have been widely used by the transit industry and provide maximum comfort at a minimum cost. The vehicle is driven by a pneumatic propulsion system which converts electrical power into air flow and transmits thrust directly to the vehicle without gears or intervening electric circuits. Stationary electrical blowers, located close to the passenger stations and connected to the guideway, produce the necessary pressurized air , which is generated according to the desired vehicle acceleration rate and speed.
