Abstract
The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) exhaust from automobiles is still increasing around the world. Therefore, drastic innovations in traffic policy and technology are needed. This paper describes a new-concept flywheel battery system with sliding bearings, using tribology and traction control technologies, for a hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). The results of vehicle running tests show more than 80% energy efficiency of the flywheel battery system including the auxiliary units. An HEV intermodal transport system using this flywheel is currently being researched. A main feature of this transport system is the movable cyberexpressway using jumbo trains. The effect of jumbo trains that substantially cut CO2 emissions from automobiles is discussed when they are integrated with a new concept of road traffic in an intelligent transportation system.
