Overland ATS

Nearly 90 percent of the population of the United States lives in 250 urban areas. Yet despite this fact, transportation systems have failed to adequately serve these urban areas. In recent decades, expressways have been built and roads widened, but the ubiquitous congestion and gridlock continues largely unabated. The solution to the traffic congestion and freight problems is the Overland Automated Transportation System, consisting of a six-foot-wide dual-mode elevated skyway with a maximum capacity equivalent to 12 lanes of interstate highway, as well as compatible vehicles that will seamlessly enter the guideway at local interchanges. The Overland Automated Transportation System uses a unique dual-mode system comprised of an elevated skyway to move traffic along at a constant speed of 150 miles per hour.
