Flat Terminal for Guideway Transit System

Abstract

A flat terminal for a guideway transit system is provided. The flat terminal comprises a gateway 24 connected to a guideway 20 through which a vehicle 10 moves, and through which the vehicle is driven in and out to enter/alight passengers, entering/alighting platforms 30 at which the vehicle stops at the gateway 24 to enter/alight the passengers or freights, and a waiting room 42 provided on the same plane as the entering/alighting platforms 30. Therefore, it is possible to install a single story structure terminal, rather than a two-story structure terminal, and install the gateway or the entering/alighting platforms at the exterior of the building since a movement of the vehicle does not overlap a passageway of the passengers.
