My mother used to drive these for some years. In my town, you couldn’t go that fast through switches. If you did, people on the sidewalks and bus stops were about to witness a nice lightning show and the trolleybus would 100% disconnect from the wires. Sadly, no more trolley busses in my town. :/ Still quite fascinated. :)
@@Артем_Стаценко в те времена (вторая половина 80х примерно) у нас уже началась перестройка и о серьёзном развитии троллейбуса уже почти не думали (продажа нефтепродуктов и покупка икарусов казались перспективнее на будущее).
Я в шоке!, да Если бы у нас так летали по стрелкам - давно бы всю сеть положили на асфальт..., Вы не поверите ребята, но мы в Нижнем Новгороде стрелки "пешком" проходим! ((
Until 2015 they used radio frequency to switch switches, since 2015 they use VETRA from Elektroline: www.elektroline.cz/download_area.php (search for 'vetra')
In some places It used to be controlled by the acceleration pedal. The switch has a default state (left for example) and if the driver goes through it pressing the accelerator, the switch will change and they’ll go right. If they release the accelerator before and while going through it, using the inertia, the switch will not change and they’ll go left. It doesn’t sound ideal, but that’s how it was where I grew up. Maybe they have changed it to a newer radio or vetra in other towns, as the OP mentioned. P.s. I’m sorry for the late comment, this video popped up in my recommendations again after so many years lol
The 2 sides of the current Positive power wire on the left Negative return wire on the right They don't have rails to return the current to the power system so they need the extra wire.
The maximum permitted speed under these switches in Hungary is 40km/h and yes, some of the drivers drive faster up to 50km/h. The switches were tested at Elektroline up to 60km/h (if I remember corretly) and you can find the next sentence of their homepage: "Trolley-bus crossings and switches allow a transit speed of up to 50 km/ hour."
@expat60 we used a built-in remote with 4 colors (every switch had a color) until 2016-2017 and since then there is a new system called VETRA and you have to enter a code before you start the ride and this system switches automatically.
nice trolleybuses, wish we still had them in the uk.

This is the evidence that (real !) trolleybuses are not that slow, even under switches or crossings.
Шикарная работа скоростных стрелок!
- Ай щас корерги слетять!... нифига
- Куда плять провода порвёшь!... ипаааать
Вот это я понимаю скорость прохождения спецчастей КС!
Вот вот сеть))) єто да

почему то у нас не додумались сделать пересечения и стрелки проще, как здесь

У нас в Мухосранске аналогично...
В Петербурге по пальцам скоростные спец части посчитать😢
Супер, классная работа!!!
I’ve been trying to find information on how trolleybus catenary switches work ..

Я аж волнуюсь за них
Excellent
Bonitos trolebuses Europeos.
Тралебус шо настаячий.👍
Красота!!!
I just can't believe how these works?
Why are there two cables? When a train only needs one cable?
You can find the answer under the "Single- and double-pole usage" part: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_pole
Kazerit, second wire is Rail!
The 2 sides of the current
Positive power wire on the left
Negative return wire on the right
They don't have rails to return the current to the power system so they need the extra wire.
У нас это невозможно!
Don’t you think they are going under the wire way too fast?

How much more expensive are these switches than than "simple" (slow) switches?
@@timursborunovs599 No real price difference regarding the catenary material.
