        abstract = {The increasing traffic congestion in cities due to population growth and improper urban planning necessitates innovative transportation solutions. The proposed Sky Bus system offers a unique mass transit solution that can be deployed in congested urban areas, providing efficient and safe transportation without adding to traffic congestion. The Sky Bus operates on an elevated track with cars suspended below, offering a design that minimizes the risk of accidents or collisions. It is an eco-friendly and noise-free mode of transportation, making it an attractive option for urban mobility. This autonomous Sky Bus model is designed to shuttle passengers between three busy points continuously, reducing ground space utilization and alleviating traffic congestion on busy roads. The hanging compartments are equipped with special metal wheels driven by DC motors, ensuring precise movement and safety for passengers. Sensors identify destination points, allowing the coach to halt precisely at the designated locations. Mechanized doors controlled by servo motors ensure passenger safety and ease of access. The doors open automatically upon reaching the platform and remain open for a specific duration before closing. The demo module utilizes electro-mechanical components and is driven by DC motors with reduction gear mechanisms for efficient load handling. An Arduino microcontroller and H-Bridge IC control circuitry ensure smooth operation.
Power is supplied by a rechargeable 12V battery, which is charged wirelessly from solar panels, highlighting the project's focus on sustainable energy solutions. Wireless power transmission technology enables efficient energy transfer without the need for conventional conductors. The Sky Bus system presents a promising solution to urban congestion and transportation challenges, offering a safe, eco-friendly, and efficient mode of mass transit powered by renewable energy sources.
