Hello,
Here are some recommendations for the monorail train:
TRANSPORT OF PERSONS:
-I suggest you consider building a monorail that takes light booths for only 1 to 10 people.
-If the public telephone booths, and possibly private, are more intimate (auto format) success will be even greater (people do not like being in large congested vehicles.
-By reducing the weight of the cabins you reduce construction costs.
-Reducing the cost of construction would expand the network faster.
-And possibly extend it to municipal arterial.
-By increasing the proximity, increases the use.
-Could replace the monorail transit.
-The monorail costs a fraction of the cost of underground or 15 times less. This means that for every km underground may have to build 15km of monorail and light construction of a monorail would eventually double the development cost is the same versus 30km 1 km underground. If the Metro budget was used to develop the monorail we would have more 2 000 breakpoints instead of 72 current.
-Being more profitable than the bus, an automated monorail would be less expensive than the bus and could replace the entire transit.
-The network light could cover all the streets.
-It could eventually replace the automobile.
-Just set a standard international construction in order to interconnect the entire continental network and possibly in anticipation of intercontinental transport systems in magnetic fields and vacuum.
-Automated computerized network would eliminate congestion, reduce costs (no driver), reduce accidents, reduce the cost of insurance premiums, etc.
-The user need only specify the destination address on a touch screen to be completed destination.
FREIGHT:
-Freight transport is not no longer need large capacity if the transport is done directly from the manufacturer to the user or retail.
-Transportation to the range is sufficient.
-It may even be possible carriers of any automated mini-, that could replace the private parcel delivery and postal door to door at a fraction of current costs and, not on the same day,... In the same time!
-The control of the restaurant, or ice cream come from the grocery store, in less than 5 minutes !
SOURCE D’ÉNERGIE
-Consideration should be given the opportunity to use the structure of the monorail to install wind turbines outside the city of medium size, quiet in town.
-And the use of photovoltaic panels as a roof or landing on top of the monorail (the cost of a roof or a PV panel is about the same).
-By producing more energy than it consumes network it ensures autonomy in case of power failure (even at low speed) and revenues by selling surplus electricity companies. The surplus energy could also be stored in a hydrogen pipeline (above the monorail) could also be used to generate electricity using a generator in case of power failure, by the transport network the most reliable on the ground with his 3 sources d’énergies, grid, wind turbines and photovoltaic panels and an energy storage form of hydrogen whose surplus could be sold to the grid or local gas.
ENERGY TRANSPORT AND COMMUNICATIONS
The structure of the monorail could also serve the transportation energy (electricity, pipeline d’hydrogène, etc.) and communication (electricity, phone, Internet, etc.) in its supporting structure.
-To reduce the costs of its business while promoting competition. The costs would be reduced especially in new areas under construction or requiring the replacement of the network or just the landfill. In the latter case it would cost a fraction of the cost, or pruning of trees is more environmentally friendly, and cost if the son passed the middle of the street instead of being above the sidewalk.
FINANCING:
-Automation allows you to go look for financial partners and customers will find it profitable private return on investment.
Funding can be done via:
-The municipal transit.
-The transport of goods by private firms
-The Carriage of Goods by Potes Canada
-The transport of private persons.
-Transport Energy and Communications.
-The replacement of private cars by private monorails would reduce, even eliminate the cost of construction, maintenance and repair of roads and bridges. The savings could be reinvested in building the network for a fraction of the usual cost for different levels of government.
Using rights of way paid by all stakeholders the network payback a fraction of time!
