Sobre este producto
- There are more than one Billion cars on Earth today. Sometime around the year 2030 that number will be two Billion. Frantic growth of automobile traffic comes at a price. World energy infrastructure will be stressed to find enough energy to power such an expanded fleet. Taking the path of least resistance by scaling up hydrocarbon fuel production aggravates the already serious risk of global warming due to massive CO2 production planet-wide. Pollution will be worsened and political instability within stressed populations will become ever more prevalent. All of these concerns are widely recognized and many initiatives have been taken to mitigate the worst consequences of runaway environmental degradation caused by automotive traffic. Interested parties are evaluating a wide range of options including public transit, smart highways, improved hydrocarbon engine efficiency, hybrid vehicles and all electric vehicles. Manufacturing the vehicles and building the roads on which expanded traffic will flow adds another dimension to the challenge facing communities in coming years. However, the prospect of new production and new infrastructure creates an opportunity. If the vehicles and roadways are organized and built with all of the issues associated with traffic expansion in mind, a better overall solution may be forthcoming. This treatise lays out a plan for developing an all electric traffic system called Global RApid Transit InfraStructure (GRATIS) that was written as a solution to the challenges facing transportation systems in the year 2030. The intention is to bolster confidence and stimulate investment along the lines proposed. In addition, a systematic plan to address future transportation needs via GRATIS development provides an example and takes some of the mystery out of thinking about choices we face. In the USA, 120 Million workers spend on average one hour daily commuting. Considering lost productivity and the deleterious health effects of stressful travel, we may value that time at ten dollars per hour. An annual cost of 0.3 trillion dollars is incurred and adding non-commuting travel cost leads to a conservative estimate of 0.6 trillion dollars per year. By cutting travel time in half, GRATIS will save Americans 0.3 trillion dollars per year. GRATIS vehicles are designed to move back and forth seamlessly from legacy surface roads to GRATIS roadways. A passenger enters vehicle at home and exits within easy walking distance of the workplace or other destination. Travel time is reduced by; increased velocity on roadways, comprehensive integration of interconnected roadways to eliminate stop and go effects, pervasive urban penetration, ample parking and integration of parking with destination access. GRATIS also embodies high speed long distance travel. Supporting technologies include; linear induction motors for 2 axis drive, levitation, vehicle-in-motion battery charging, high strength-to-weight roadway enclosures, means of reducing air pressure surrounding long distance high speed trains, means of launching aircraft carrying GRATIS compatible passenger modules, broad band communications with vehicles in motion and individually optimized trips.
