ABSTRACT:
A transportation system is comprised of a first closed loop passenger and cargo transporter section with such section being ideally intended to operate at a substantially constant speed, and a second closed loop passenger transfer section with such section being intended to operate, generally between the first closed loop and a related stationary passenger platform, as to cyclically maintain a speed equivalent to the constant speed of the first closed loop, then decelerate until it is stationary with respect to the related stationary passenger platform and then accelerate until it is again at the speed of the first closed loop transporter section. Passengers and cargo may, during the time that the transfer section is stationary with respect to the passenger platform, transfer from the platform onto the then stationary transfer section (or if getting off of the system, transfer from the then stationary transfer section onto the platform). After the second closed loop transfer section has accelerated and attained the speed of the moving first closed loop transporter section, the passengers on the transfer section may, during the time that both sections are of the same speed, transfer from the transfer section onto the transporter section (or, if in the process of getting off of the system, transfer from the transporter section onto the transfer section). After the second closed loop transfer section has decelerated and again becomes stationary with respect to the stationary passenger platform, such passengers getting onto or getting off the system may again, as the case may be, transfer from the stationary platform onto the transfer section or transfer from the transfer section onto the platform. The above cycle of operation continues during operation of the overall transportation system.
