The Flexity Freedom is a light rail vehicle that will be operated by the Toronto Transit Commission on the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, Hamilton B-Line and by Grand River Transit on the Ion LRT in Waterloo Region.〔 〕 They will be built by Bombardier Transportation in Thunder Bay, Ontario.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bombardier Builds Customer Base for Leading Light Rail Technology in North America )〕 ==Design== The vehicles are entirely low-floor.〔 They can be built to operate unidirectionally or bidirectionally. The vehicles' design includes energy-saving features, like regenerative braking and the use of LED lighting, but they are also air-conditioned. The vehicles may be coated in special paint designed to resist graffiti. The vehicles are articulated, and are built out of modules.〔 Operators can alter the number of intermediate modules, thus altering the capacity of the individual vehicles. Vehicles can be connected, so up to four connected vehicles are operated by a single driver. The vehicles are equipped with counters, which keep track of how many passengers they are carrying.〔 The vehicles' standard passenger configuration can safely accommodate up to four passengers in wheelchairs. The maximum passenger capacities, in the standard seating layouts, are 135 and 251, for the three and five-module configurations respectively. When run in the five-module configuration, with train-sets of four vehicles, the maximum capacity of a light rail line is 30,000 passengers per peak hour. According to Bombardier, the trainsets can be built for "''catenary-free''" power, where, instead of being powered by direct contact with overhead wires they are powered indirectly through induction, through buried loops.〔 Flexity Freedom vehicles differ from the Flexity Outlook vehicles used on the Toronto streetcar system in that they are larger and faster and use standard gauge rather than the streetcar system's unique broad gauge.〔 They are also bi-directional, with cabs on both ends and doors on both sides. While Flexity Outlook vehicles can negotiate the tight curves of the streetcar network, Flexity Freedom vehicles require a minimum curve radius of . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flexity Freedom」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
