Atmostrack Technology
LITTLE AND OFTEN
Current transport technologies carry their power and their fuel with them. They also share their road or their tracks with other vehicles. This makes them heavy and risky. (Each year, according to the World Health Organization 1,200,000 people are killed by road transport alone, for example). Atmostrack vehicles receive their power from the system and therefore weigh much less. The principle is little and often rather than heavy and occasional.
LIGHT AND FAST
Atmostrack technology is readily adaptable to high speed overland travel. Speeds of several hundred miles an hour are possible.
UP AND OVER
Vehicles are powered by the system and do not depend upon friction between wheels and track. An Atmostrack installation is not limited by gradient. Steep inclines without rock cuts or switchbacks greatly reduce civil engineering requirements.
FRACTALLY SCALABLE
As a low-tech, inherently safe technology, Atmostrack does not require expensive components. Vehicles, for example, can be constructed cheaply from riveted aluminium or more expensively from composites.
The choice of construction technology is demand driven.
DRIVEN OR DRIVERLESS
The inherent safety of the Atmostrack system lends itself to relatively simple (and inexpensive) software control. In a complex mature geodesic system the software can be engineered to learn and become more and more efficient.
In a simple system (in rural undeveloped areas or in industrial conveyor applications) mechanical controls can be substituted for software. Drivers may or may not be used.
The range of Atmostrack applications is limited only by imagination.
