Abstract
A system and method of mass transit management is disclosed. The system and method employ a dedicated single-lane two-directional roadway (20), with a plurality of independently steerable vehicles (LV 1-LV 16) operable on the roadway (20). A plurality of vehicle passing nodes are provided along the roadway, with each node constituting either a station (S1-S12) or a stop point (SP1-SP5). A segment (1-16) is defined along the roadway (20) between each pair of consecutive nodes. Synchronized movement of a first vehicle through a first one of the segments in only a first direction during a first movement phase is permitted, thereby allowing the first vehicle to traverse that first segment. Synchronized movement of a second vehicle through a second one of these segments in only a second, opposite direction during the first movement phase is permitted, to thereby allow the second vehicle to traverse that second segment. Control means are provided for controlling the timing and direction of vehicle movements and vehicle stoppage along the segments and nodes.
