High-speed mass transport system

Abstract

A high-speed mass transport system having a monorail track disposed along a travel path and a monorail car with a driving unit suspended from the monorail track and a commuter car selectively attached to the driving unit. The high-speed mass transport system having also having an omnidirectional wheel transporter being adapted to selectively raise and lower to engage the commuter car, thus allowing the commuter car to detach from and reattach to the driving unit.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The system achieves timely and efficient transportation, reduces environmental impact, and is cost-effective by minimizing infrastructure requirements and optimizing travel routes, enabling passengers to live and work farther apart while maintaining high speeds and reliability.

Problems solved by technology

Currently, mass transportation is an ongoing issue because of the world's growing population.

The existing rapid transport methods are not sufficient for the amount of people presently commuting because of their lack of ability to bring passengers near their desired location in a timely manner.

Expanding current transportation methods would mean widening freeways, adding carpool lanes, increasing the number of buses on the road, widening city streets, and adding light rails, which are all costly and not long-term solutions.

Most of these short-term solutions also add to the current pollution problem due to the carbon emissions they produce.

These methods are also time inefficient because of the time sitting in traffic and the time it takes to load and unload passengers from the public transport vehicle.

Additionally, living in city centers, where there is a high job density, has led to the increased cost of living in these urban areas.

Furthermore, current rapid transportation does not allow people to live significant distances away from work because of the time the commute may take.

These methods are also typically late and do not run on time making them unreliable for passengers to get to work on time.

This is another issue for trying to implement this system in a developed city because the roads are already positioned.

These are very expensive to construct in a developed city, if it is even possible with the city's infrastructure.
