⁴ᴷ⁶⁰ Front Window View of the H-Bahn Monorail in Dortmund, Germany

The H-Bahn (abbreviation for Hängebahn, German for 'hanging railway') in Dortmund and Düsseldorf (there known as "Sky train") is a driverless passenger suspension railway system. The system was developed by Siemens, who called the project SIPEM (SIemens PEople Mover). The rolling stock provides a large front window, allowing passengers to see the route ahead. This video shows the operation of Dortmund University H-Bahn Line 5, which provides a shuttle service between Eichlinghofen and Universität - S-Bahn.

Only two H-Bahn installations exist, one at the Dortmund University campus and the other at the Düsseldorf Airport. While Siemens is no longer actively marketing the system and will no longer carry out turnkey projects, new installations are still possible in collaboration with the Dortmund operating company.
