  1. Personal rapid transport (or transit) = ”automatbane(?)”

  2. Førerløs offentlig transport(Personal rapid Transit = PRT) • Ikke lenger mange mennesker i få bokser ... • ... men få mennesker i mange bokser => • Tett nettverk av linjer, kort vei å gå • Ingen eller lite venting • Ingen stopp mellom avgangssted og reisemål • Privatliv • PRT kan se slik ut:

  3. SkyTran Unimodal Systems Irvine, CA www.unimodal.com 805-374-8454

  4. What is Personal Rapid Transit? Small Automated Personal Vehicles Elevated Guideways On-Demand Access at Off-Line Stations Non-Stop, Point-to-Point Service

  5. Fixes Fundamental Problem of Rail & Buses Riders Have to Change Modes, Wait For Departures and Stop At EVERY Stop on the Route Home Work

  6. PRT Architecture Network of Non-Stop Guideways Accessed by On-Ramps & Off-Ramps Same Design as Interstate Highways

  7. PRT Architecture Like Interstate Highways you ride non-stop in a personal vehicle traveling on a guideway “lane”anywhere in the network.

  8. United States First Generation PRT Morgantown, West Virginia Operated by West Virginia University for over 30 years and to this day is primary mode of service for students, faculty and staff. 8.7 mile system Over 63 million passengers since 1972. Handles 15,000 people per day with a peak of 30,000. Unblemished safety record. No serious accidents. Availability rate above 98.5%.

  9. Second Generation PRT Low Speed Up to 30 mph Small Scale Local Circulators Only High Maintenance Uses wheels Over 1000 lbs. Uses larger vehicles

  10. Second Generation PRT Close-Up ULTRA System Heathrow Airport, U.K. Deployment Operational in 2008

  11. Next Generation PRT High Speed Up to 150 mph Scalable Networks Local, Regional, National Service Low Maintenance Uses maglev instead of wheels Under 1000 lbs. Uses aerodynamic vehicles Energy Efficient Up to 500 mpg Zero CarbonSolar Powered

  12. SkyTran Off-Line Portal Solar Arrays (Top of Guideway) EXIT BOARD ON-RAMP SWITCH OFF-RAMP SWITCH NON-STOP GUIDEWAY

  13. Size Matters Metro lines Heavy concrete work, costly, difficult to install, and visually obtrusive SkyTran Lightweight, low cost, quick to install, and visually unobtrusive Why Does SkyTran Carry Only Two People? Average Number of Auto Passengers = 1.2 SkyTran Is Designed For Rule Not the Exception Larger Vehicles Used For Infrequent Larger Capacities Increase Overall System Size, Weight & Cost Luxury of Unused Capacity Comes At A Huge Cost

  14. Size Matters Transrapid > $150 Million Per Mile SkyTran PRT $15 Million Per Mile

  15. Size Matters Passive MagLev Provides A Compact Suspension for Linear Synchronous Motors (LSM) Propulsion. Small MagLev & LSM Combo Provides Extreme Energy Efficiency Up to 500 MPG Equivalent Only one moving part…Virtually No Maintenance

  16. Solar Powered SkyTran SkyTran is the only surface transportation technology that can be powered 100% by solar photovoltaics

  17. Using The System Easy Access Getting In and Out of the Vehicle

  18. Low Cost, Mass Produced Modular Components Small Personalized Vehicles InexpensivePortals LightweightGuideways Standard Utility Pole Supports Apply Henry Ford’s 100 Year Old Principles of Mass Production

  19. SkyTran Disappears into the Cityscape Minimum visual impact compared to an equivalent capacity three lane highway or a lower capacity light rail No expensive, destructive right-of-way acquisitions required, just easements on existing sidewalks Nonstop Guideway Parked vehicles waiting for you Boarding portal

  22. ”Kostnadsanslag” “For early phase systems the cost is $US 6 million per unidirectional Km and $US 9 million for a bi-directional Km. In later phase systems, when the manufacturing processes are mature and the economy of scales are maximized probably in the realm of $US 3.5 million per unidirectional Km and $US 5 million for a bi-directional Km. These figures exclude survey, regulatory approvals, utility relocation, specific site related expenses, etc. They include vehicles and portals. Early phase vehicles probably will cost us about $15-20,000 each. We hope we can cut this down to $5,000 in mass production.”
