| Disclosed is a transportation system with integrated infrastructure. In one embodiment, this infrastructure takes the form of a hollow elevated load bearing guideway structure designed to support the weight of traveling vehicles. The structure supports a backbone beam, or rail, that has multiple functions. These functions may include vehicle control, security, and energy delivery. The structure is bimodal meaning vehicles can have wheels like cars or steel rimmed wheels like a train or any combination thereof. | ||||||

| The present disclosure relates to a transitional mode high speed rail system. The high speed rail infrastructure employed by the system is constructed adjacent a conventional host highway. The infrastructure can be provided adjacent to acceleration/deceleration lanes, or emergency parking/paved shoulder lanes. The vehicles used by the system are individual, self-powered, self-operating, individual mass passenger transport vehicles similar in size and appearance to municipal buses. These are transitional mode vehicles because they operate as railroad vehicles on the high speed rail infrastructure, but transition to automotive vehicle mode traveling on ordinary paved roads. They are mass passenger transport vehicles because many passengers can be accommodated. | ||||||

| 89 | Public highway system | US12656517 | 2010-02-02 | US07788000B1 | 2010-08-31 | William D. Davis, Jr. |
| The public highway system includes automated, elevated single lane throughways having wide and narrow gauge rail track arranged in various combinations. A control system regulates spacing of bimodal vehicles while maintaining a uniform speed for all vehicles on the system. The bimodal vehicles perform as conventional automobiles on conventional roadways and as fully automated safe high speed vehicles on elevated single lane, single speed, high-density electric rail guideways using static vertical switching accomplished by operation of variable gauge rail wheels on the vehicle to engage with or disengage from a wide gauge track portion wider than the bimodal vehicles. Vehicles enter/leave the mainline on the narrower gauge track. The wider gauge is for passing over off-ramps or in switching systems. A single lane can handle 15,800 veh/hr including mixed use such as mail, freight, mass transit in captive driverless vehicles with exclusive off-ramps to federal, commercial, industrial and public terminals. | ||||||

| 92 | STRUCTURE AND OPERATION OF A THREE DIMENSIONAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM | US11559891 | 2006-11-14 | US20070107621A1 | 2007-05-17 | Baisheng Zou |
| This invention provides methods of guideway construction and vehicle operation for a three-dimensional transportation system, in which a vehicle changes lane or direction by widening or narrowing the width between its left wheels and its corresponding right wheels. In such a transportation system, vehicles diverge from a source lane and merge into a target lane aerially either above or below the tracks, through the empty space between the left guideway and the right guideway. A transportation system in which traffic lanes could be stacked vertically one above another, and additional lanes could be added later without additional land usage. In such a transportation system, a vehicle could raise or lower its center of gravity in the vertical direction to offer the advantages of safe operation and easy loading/unloading. Such a transportation system could accommodate dual-mode vehicles. Such a transportation system is suitable for automatically moving people and goods. | ||||||
| 93 | Method and a device for the rail traffic on multiply, parallel guide-ways also as toys | US11455824 | 2006-06-20 | US20070107620A1 | 2007-05-17 | Wolfgang Wagner |
| A Method and a device for a rail traffic on parallel guide-way and also as toys which are effected and consist by a vehicle with wheels or linear motor sleds which, by means of transport member preferably from a kind of hydraulics (at toys by springs or folded bellows), is able to be lifted from one guide-way across to another neighbouring one without railway switch, whereby the guide-ways preferably are stepped arranged on carrier pillars. An individual rail traffic is rendered possible by the one which is not bound by general stops, because the vehicle is able to halt on the lowest gauge even on a guide-way-free pavement. The average velocity of the vehicle is increased with each rail step. The number of the lanes can be largely augmented because the vehicles are also able to run overhanging and partially overlapping and because the narrow gauge is chosen. For the freight traffic, a vehicle is able to use multiply guide-ways, whereby the wheels are held perpendicularly up to the rails during the gradual lowering of the guide-way up to a single guide-way plane. An automation could be caused with automatic distance control between the vehicles, the accident hazard could be lowered though the acceleration of the traffic, but by the avoiding of cross roads combined with an avoiding of exhaust-gas because of the electrification. Biotops could be increased. The transition from the road traffic of today would be possible nearly frictionless. It is especially considered to make a pattern for the use as toy. | ||||||

| An electrically powered vehicle transportation system utilizes a guideway with parallel enclosed rails. Each enclosed rail has an electrical bus bar for supplying power to vehicles on the guideway. The guideway will accommodate dual-mode vehicles that are capable of usage on conventional streets as well as on the guideway. The guideway also accommodates conventional vehicles and ferries that operate only on the guideway. The dual-mode vehicle has a body with axles that are extensible. The axles move from a retracted position, with the wheels recessed within the wheel wells, to an extended position. In the extended position, the wheels locate within the enclosed rails. Conventional vehicles and freight are carried on ferries that move along the guideways. | ||||||
