Motion, Mobilization, and Transportation Concepts
Lack of innovation in modern transportation methods and systems promote pollution of air and water, creates global conflicts over oil resources, accounts for the huge human cost in terms of life and limb do to automobile accidents and particulates and pollution in the air and contributes to global warming from automobile exhaust.
Pod Cars
Pod Cars are low riding light weight battery operated cars. The top speed of a pod car is approximately 25 miles an hour. They would have to be used in city with a separate grid for alternate transportation to prevent anyone getting run over by an S.U.V.
Pod Tubes and Pod Tracks
Pod cars could go to a station where the pod car would lock onto a pod carrier. The pod and pod carrier would merge onto a side track, pick up the speed to match the main track speed, then would be transferred onto the main track into a safety spaced location. The whole system would be built with the intention of having a zero casualty rate from accidents.
Hanging Pod Movers
The same system used with pod tracks, but in a system that hangs the pod from above. A combination of a track and a hanging system could be used to create a system that is safe from the possibility of derailment.
Alternative Fuel Station
The biggest drawback to electric powered vehicles is the weight of the batteries, and the time involved allowing them to charge. At an alternative fuel station vehicles will be able to swap out batteries by paying a reasonable fee. Other alternative fuels could be available also. Alternative Fuel Station will also have alternative healthy snacks, sandwiches, and smoothies for sale, and none of the junk food currently found in convenience stores.
The Scuttle Bug
A scuttle bug is basically video camera on wheels that will send video to the conductor of the train in order to give the conductor warning to allow the train to stop in time before hitting objects on the train tracks. The Scuttle Bug, or remote controlled camera pod, will have breaks, lights, whistles, auditory speakers, G.P.S., infrared sensors, short wave digital transmitter, Segway balancing technology, and any other available technology to help protect the passage of an oncoming train. Ideally the remote controlled camera pod would operate far enough ahead of the train to allow the train to stop if the tracks are blocked. Objects, which manage to come between the pod and the train, will be detected using a laser system.
