Oncoming bus using the same overhead lines — one of the buses temporarily disconnects（对向两车共享一对架空线，接近时一方暂时脱线）
（车辆脱线绕开行驶轨迹上的障碍物后，集电杆恢复连接）
At a bus stop the bus automatically contacts the overhead wire to recharge its batteries（站点停车时，集电杆自动连接架空线为电池充电）
The bus automatically disconnects to cross tram or other electrified rail lines（车辆在穿越有轨电车或电气化铁路道口时，自动脱线）
The bus automatically disconnects and then reconnects around the corner（车辆经过岔路口时，自动脱线后恢复搭线）
Motivation（动机，即为什么要这么做）
Electromobility has been gaining in relevance recently in view of sustainable urban and traffic planning movements although there have been electric trains, trams, trolleybuses and cars for over a century. Trolleybuses (also referred to as ‘catenary buses’) have not been able to gain general acceptance in competing with conventional diesel- or gas-powered buses although trolleybuses are not only cost efficient but energy efficient as well, and produce zero emissions. Since trolleybuses are largely affixed to overhead wires, manual intervention or even a structural solution is required when the bus has to be routed around a temporary obstacle. A supplementary energy source on board is useful to only a limited extent when encountering these obstacles, regardless of whether the source is a battery or auxiliary diesel. The net result of these disadvantages is that in Germany, for example, there are currently 23,000 diesel buses deployed in urban transport as opposed to less than 100 trolleybuses. Also, other e-mobility variants like battery- or fuel cell-powered buses or hybrid buses still pose too many limitations in terms of their operating range or convenience, or are considered to only be transitional technologies, i.e. not ready for prime time.
The solution: LibroDuct（解决方案——LibroDuct，即该做什么）
DIaLOGIKa and project partner Kummler+Matter AG looked long and hard for solutions to this issue — and ultimately developed LibroDuct. With this system trolleybuses are able to connect to and disconnect from the overhead wire fully automatically, while travelling or stopped. LibroDuct is based on conventional pole current collector and overhead electrical contact wire systems. The LibroDuct principle is founded on a control system for which patent is pending at the international level. Combined with the novel mechanical components of the current collector system, for which patent is also pending, LibroDuct makes use of various software-based processes, enabling buses to automatically switch between operating with and without overhead lines, thus paving the way for the electrification of local public transport networks.
The technology（技术）
LibroDuct unites the positive aspects of trolleybus and battery-powered bus technologies. It enables battery-powered buses to recharge while underway (if only at bus stops), resulting in a drastic reduction in the battery capacity required. LibroDuct also enables trolleybuses to travel for extended distances without being connected to overhead lines. This means that with LibroDuct the construction of overhead lines can be cost-effectively restricted to main routes or specific bus stops and steep inclines requiring substantial electrical power. Thanks to their ability to autonomously disconnect from and recontact overhead lines, LibroDuct-enabled trolleybuses can easily master exceptional situations like sudden obstacles posed by accidents or temporary construction sites. Trolleybuses can also be used to serve heritage sites and historically protected areas without visually blighting them with overhead wires.
