A LINE HAUL CONFIGURATION

By combining the best features of standard rail with elevated monorail and automation from PRT, this project will explore a preferred configuration of an elevated guideway with minimal visual intrusion, light weight, automated, and allowing for high speeds.

15 Passenger Cruiser

This is a schematic illustration of a 100+ mph or faster linehaul cruiser carrying 15 or more passengers and for maximum  capacity these can be linked together into a train.   Our goals are to build a this vehicle about the size of a stretch limo.  Each 3 seats will form an aisle loading from the left side of cabin and existing to the right with carry on bags stowed beneath the seats.  Each seat has its own comfort controls, audio and video channels as shown previously.
