- Scientists have been developing Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) technology decades. It has diverse applications ranging from moving cargo at airports to transporting people on campuses and in cities. The developers of Masdar City, a carbon neutral, car free community in Abu Dhabi, are implementing an innovative and advanced PRT system that will include multiple podcars that are guided by a central computer and powered by solar panels. Planners face construction and programming challenges are they set out to build the infrastructure and expand the system.
"Ded reckoning" actually means "deduced reckoning": to navigate without assistance. By using embedded magnets it's being actively guided by them.
This seems like a rich people's cover, I want to see the workers actually doing the real construction.
I love this machine it's potable but very current
Those traveling to high security areas, or gated communities could be given override passwords or security access swipe cards to get to work or get inside their homes.
Investing and researching in sustainable renewable energy is not just anything
No there isn't but there will be, since this technology is still under development and needs more funding. Maybe the new and improved versions might come out in other cities. For example such transport system is already in place in London Heathrow airport
I didn't see a single bicycle alley in all the videos about Masdar City...
rbaleksandar the city did not even finish yet
@VertigonA380 yes they did i was there a week ago
and the prt is a bit scarry knowing that its drives itself without a driver XD
When further developing PRT software for future use in cities, please consider software commands which block travelers from freely driving into high security areas, or even gated home communities to prevent crime and reduce security risks. Municipalities of the future should issue security access transit cards or passwords for keypunch to adults of age and monitor their ridership should crimes occur. No one should share rides with strangers. Unattended children must not be allowed to access.
@VertigonA380 yes looong time ago
@angypangyify .scientists develop, engineers build
@trihumanish
Because our countries are unfortunately bog down with inefficient Bureaucratic administrations that are more concerned with political games.
It is a chicken and egg situation. They will not invest the money so they will not get more economical systems.
hey ! its not "SCIENTISTS" developing this... it's ENGINEERS!!
