Abstract:

A modular platform system includes a setback platform system for a shared track rail system on a ground level. The shared track rail system is usable by a commuter, regional and intercity rail vehicle and a freight vehicle. The setback platform includes a first path at a first height with respect to the ground level. The setback platform also includes a shuttle platform. The shuttle platform is at a second height in a first position different from the first height. The shuttle platform is configured to be moved from the first position to a second position different from the first position. A front edge of the shuttle platform is farther away from a centerline of the shared track rail system if the shuttle platform is in the first portion than if the shuttle platform is in the second position.
