Mobile platforms for high speed trains
China has the world longest high-speed rail network. They found that stopping in each station was a waste of time and energy, loosing energy to stop and spending extra energy to accelerate. They have developed the prototype, which is in the video below. I haven’t found if the prototype has been implemented, however the idea seems brilliant.
People from the station get in to the platform, the high-speed train decrees the speed but doesn´t need to stop and it catches the platform, leaving one behind. The new people from the platform has time to move to the train, meanwhile the train continues its way to the next station, and the people who wants to get off moves into the platform, which is going to be deposit in the next station or they just stay on the train until the station they want to get off approaches.
