Metropolitan Transit System Problems
3
Problems at a glance
More transit systemWorse pollutionLower efficiencyMore difficult to
travel
4
Problematic solutions for traditional metropolitan
transit systems
5
Road shared with various transportation vehicles – low efficiency, unsafe
Expensive subway or Bart System – low coverage rate
Driver’s individual decisions – random, traffic jams
Energy and other resource consumption – pollution, unsustainable
Transfer between various transit systems – time consuming, inconvenient
6
Tubenet Transit System
Our solution
7
Basic concept
Tubenet is a standardized tube-rail public transit system, connecting buildings and communities, driven mainly by solar power, fully computer controlled with cloud technology, using single coach-wagon to carry people or other goods, covering entire city or metropolitan areas, as well as connections between cities
8
tube-like structure with upper track and lower rails
Upper tracks controls turning and merging into other branchesLower rails provide support and electricity
9
Light-weight single car
Cars can also be in capsule shape, carrying 2 to 3 people
10
Terminal – branch – main transit network structure
11
Distributed PV solar power source
PV panels and Li-batteries provide most of the electricity to drive the system, double secured by city power lines
12
Vertical-integrated terminal hub
Cars are stored in the hubs and ready to be used and scheduling
13
Air-gap prevent collisions
Cars and tube wall are loosely sealed to provide an air-cushion to preventhard collisions between cars
14
Vertical decent for emergency evacuation
There many lids installed underneath the tube for emergency evacuationEven when power is off there is still a manual mechanism to have people in the car to be decent onto the ground from the car inside the tube-rail
15
Intra-computer network with cloud control
16
Modulated design, installation and modifications
17
Tubenet fully rely-on a smart transit system
Smart management for all parts

• Local network
• Branch network
• Main network

Advantages of tubenet transit system
19
Very Safe
excluding human factors
mono-directional, even speed, continuously moving, no cross pathes
air-buffer due to sealed tube prevent collision between cars
