A Program for Individual Sustainable Mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recently we have proposed a new transportation system called PRISM (which stands for Program for Individual Sustainable Mobility) to help alleviate traffic congestion and to improve energy efficiency of travel [1]. The system employs privately owned small, dual-mode vehicles that can run on both conventional streets and a dedicated guideway. In this paper we consider an all-electric version for urban use only. We envision the program beginning as a few isolated systems in large cities and ultimately growing into a national network with high-speed links.
