Abstract

An individual transportation system (10) includes a track system (12), including a primary track section (14), a switching track section (16) and loading / unloading section (18). The transportation system (10) additionally includes a plurality of carriages (20) supported by the track system (12), and a plurality of underslung passenger vehicles (22) each matably engageable with one of the carriages, and adapted to hold at least one passenger therein. The transportation system (10) further includes a storage facility (24) for storing the vehicles (22) when they are disengaged from the carriage, whereby a carriage and vehicle combination traveling on the primary track can be switched between primary track section (14) via an associated switching track section (16), and can be switched to the loading / unloading track (18), wherein the vehicle may be disengaged from carriage (20) and stored in the storage facility (24).

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to a transportation system, and more particularly to an individual transportation system comprising a plurality of personal vehicles running on a common track. [0002] The ever-increasing demand on common individual modes of transportation has created unacceptable congestion. Population expansion, especially in urban areas, has begun to overburden city streets and highways that can only support some of the existing vehicular traffic. This congestion has caused unacceptable delays, resulting in wasted time and excessive fuel consumption. Also, in the current state of organization, personal transportation relies on each individual driving his or her vehicle safely and responsibly. Unfortunately, differences in driving skill and level of responsibility can result in serious injury or even death. [0003] Another disadvantage of the existing road system includes the exorbitant cost of initial road construction, a...
