MegaRail (MegaRail)
MegaRail provides a broad spectrum of high-speed, automated ground transportation services
on a single elevated and weatherproof ultra-light rail system placed over available street
and highway rights-of-way. Group rapid transit, personal rapid transit (PRT), high-speed
rail, and personal automobile travel services are integrated in a single system. Public
tax funds are not required for either construction or operation of the system, thereby
enabling rapid system build out.
The system has been carefully right-sized to accommodate full size standard automobiles, future dualmode cars, small public transit cars and reasonable capacity high-speed cargo containers in the same system. A ten-passenger long-range transit car, equipped with an airliner style lavatory and airliner type seating will offer non-stop high-speed inter-city passenger service. The system sizing enables construction of a low-cost rail system that can be readily funded for wide scale use.

Otak (Otak) is an
industry leader in its interdisciplinary approach to linking urban design, land use
planning, and transportation planning. "We believe that sustaining the region's
economy while preserving its quality of life requires the timely input of the planning,
design and engineering disciplines. This expertise must be blended with a skill for
balancing objectives and building consensus along with a knowledge of federal, state,
municipal and community requirements to arrive at solutions that work. Whether we are
master planning, working on a highway corridor plan, revitalizing a community's main
street, or identifying how pedestrian facilities can improve transit access, Otak plans
result in built projects that meet community needs."

NASA's Global Imaging System (GIS) provides a framework for correlating all the important information about transportation infrastructure such as pavement condition, traffic volume, accident rates, and bridge capacity through one important attribute - their location. In a GIS-based system, the user is able to create a visual display of vital data which are critical to an integrated and intermodal infrastructure planning process.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a US DOD-owned system of 24 earth-orbiting
satellites that transmit data to receivers and provide for civil and military users. GPS
is the most promising Automatic Vehicle Location technology. The system was designed for
and is operated by the U.S. military, yet there are expected to be almost 10 million users
of GPS for transportation applications by year 2000.

Corbin Motors is
producing small electric vehicles to address overcrowded freeways, scarce parking, high
fuel prices, and pollution. "How about a single passenger vehicle, one that could use
the carpool lanes? What if you could park this vehicle in a half space… or curb park
it? What if it cost a penny a mile to operate and never had to stop for gas? What if it
were electric and registered as a motorcycle? What if you could own one for $14,900? Does
this sound like a dream to you? This is the Corbin Motors mission, we call it a Personal
Transit Module."

InTranSys (Integrated
Transportation System) is so named because it is capable of carrying both private and
public vehicles, both passengers and freight, and both urban and rural traffic on a single
track network. Unlike other light rail systems, it is designed to transport independently
routed private automobiles. Once established, InTranSys is expected to replace about 85%
of today's ground transportation, as well as most of current air travel. In doing so, it
will eliminate today's traffic congestion, reduce air pollution from transportation to
only a tiny fraction of its present value, triple the average speed of travel in both
urban and rural areas, reduce traffic fatalities by about 90%, and provide reliable travel
under virtually all weather conditions. It will also reduce the current cost of ground
travel by 60 to 80%.

Ultra (ULTra) is an on
demand system of driverless automatic taxis travelling on their own guideway network. It
offers a new sustainable solution for transport in cities, airports and special
applications worldwide. ULTra gives: immediate personal travel service for you, your
family, friends or colleagues, taking you non-stop anywhere on the network whenever you
decide to travel; provides journeys that are three times quicker than by bus, car or light
rail; costs less to operate than buses, cars, trains or light rail - typically one third
the cost of equivalent light rail to install; and uses much less energy per passenger km
than buses, cars, trains or light rail. A prototype vehicle has been built and full system
design manufacture and testing is now underway.
