Title :
MegProp system for city rail-roads
Abstract :
This paper talks about a new system which is proposed to replace present day railroads. The system is designed to have different magnetically propelled vehicles instead of numbered trains. The suggested vehicle will be propelled by embedded electromagnets in road and controlled by computers. The system will increase track utility efficiency by manifolds; will allow passenger to travel more comfortably then in crowded compartments; The outlets for passenger will get increased from just numbered Metro stations to infinite; Much many more people will be able travel; No passengers will need to change stations in between the trip, wait in queues for tickets and trains; The whole process of transportation will be automatic and will need much less manual interventions; Passengers can sleep or work more comfortably while travelling; BedCars concept can be applied which will allow people to reach destinations like office or home in sleep; will give option of traffic management which is unheard of until now like better management can be done in allocating dynamic lanes according to upside and downside traffic at peak hours; the vehicles will be silent; the vehicles will not pollute environment in any way. This paper also discusses about efficiency and security of this system.
