Personal mass transit

Abstract

Electric microcars, providing local mobility, are automatically loaded onto maglev trucks for the longer commute on a guideway located on a barriered inside lane of the existing freeways. Stations are located above the freeway. An elegant command and control sub-system matches capacity to traffic requirements and automates normal operation. The EV transportation company will be investor-owned because it will be profitable. A federally-sponsored development and demonstration program, employing proven technology, is described.
