New Concept

Periodically new transportation initiatives are introduced, however the research demonstrates that one problem may be addressed but at the expense of creating another. Most would advocate a dedicated infrastructure- [e.g suspended or supported monorails]. Seldom is there a solution proposed which introduces an entirely new travel concept and which could be applied across various infrastructures.

The Accelerated-Motion [Amotion] idea involves coupling and decoupling vehicles in motion to allow passenger embarkation and so the word Amotion or ‘deprivation of possession’ - [www.thefreedictionary.com] would seem apt.

The proposed system offers clean, fast, and reliable transport with realistic set-up costs, and could pay dividends within a short period of use. This would be possible due to the remarkable energy efficiency of the system.

This presentation offers a road based illustration although it will be apparant that a rail based system with parallel coupling vehicles should be way simpler to create. The purpose is to demonstrate the concept feasibility on roads, which must be the least forgiving but most pervasive of transit infrastructures, and in so doing design solutions which would not be necessary on a dedicated network such as rail.

The system might be described simply as Group Rapid transport [GRT], although  the level of passenger control over their journeys is unusual in GRT systems.

Railways, particularly those serving suburbs or rural towns would benefit particularly from travel time and energy savings inherant to the Amotion concept especially where there exists a high number of small stops all requiring their own staff.
