ABSTRACT:
An electromagnetically propelled transportation system designed to provide extremely high capacity at travel speeds between 50 and 150 miles per hour, to serve as a means of transportation within contiguous urban and suburban areas. The transportation system includes centrally controlled vehicles operated on a dedicated guideway, propelled by an embedded linear synchronous motor or other linear motor, which uses coils embedded in the guideway to carry an electric current which provides the propulsion force for vehicles on the guideway. In addition, the transportation system includes other components necessary to the operation of a high-capacity high-speed urban transportation system, such as off-line stations, entry and exit ramps, for acceleration and deceleration, which connect stations to the dedicated guideway, with appropriate branching to permit the same vehicle flow rate on the ramps as on the dedicated guideway, and means of switching or steering vehicles between the ramps and the guideway. Provision is made for passengers to obtain automated entry to the system. Vehicles have dual-use capability, so as to be able to operate on city streets as well as the dedicated guideway.
