ABSTRACT:
A comprehensive transportation system with the ability to transport an individual passenger or a unit of cargo directly from a point of origin to a desired destination. A plurality of vehicles are directed about a network of continuous guideways. The guideways include a raised guide rail and are connected by a plurality of closed loop interchanges. Each vehicle is fitted with a guide rail shoe which facilitates operation of the vehicle on the guideway. The guide rail shoe tracks the raised guide rail, and comprises a switching device that transfers a vehicle from one continuous guideway to another. The guideways are further defined by level-of-service zones. The integrity of each zone is maintained electronically by an operations center and mechanically by a level-of-service screening key.
