• W638700523 abstract "A pod is a small, light, fuel efficient individual person mover. It is contended that pods will replace private motor vehicles and public transport in residential, retail and office dominated suburbs. Mass transport will transport people and pods along mobility corridors while freight transport will be similarly restricted to corridors and industrial areas. THE PROBLEM Urban transport internationally has been moving to private cars for many decades. Millions of people have either moved out of or never even used public transport. Congestion has escalated to the extent where delays, unpredictability and frustration are the norm in every major global city. Despite policies, subsidies, taxes and fuel levies, tolls, congestion pricing and other major efforts to try and prevent it, the numbers of users of private cars continues to escalate. No permanent solution is in sight. Public transport options are growing, but at huge cost. Traditional heavy rail and buses are being supplemented by bullet trains, light rail, monorail, bus rapid transit and mini and midi-bus taxis, but with growing and possibly unsustainable subsidy requirements. The success of these public transport measures is, at best, a tiny shift from private to public transport, or, at worst, a more expensive, subsidy hungry option which merely draws from alternative public transport modes making those even less viable. These options do not solve the fundamental problem of providing for individual freedom of choice to have transport at one’s own time, location, privacy and convenience. Environmentally, there is a problem too. While cars are getting smaller, less polluting and more energy efficient, the effect is marginal, and the problems of congestion, delay and safety persist. Private vehicles still “weigh a ton”, they still consume fuel in proportion to their own size and weight, rather than the driver’s size and weight, and they still take up a large area of expensive roadway. There is a demand and supply imbalance. Individual transport is demanded, mass transport is being supplied. All public transport modes have one enormous stumbling block – they need large numbers of people starting at the same place and ending at the same place. This rarely, if ever, happens naturally. It must be forced. THE SOLUTION The solution is the pod. The way it will work is as follows: 1. The city is divided into suburban areas (as all cities are) (Figure 1). The suburb boundaries are defined by the pattern of mobility (vehicle priority) roads surrounding them. Minor arterials (Class 3) are generally spaced 0,8 to 1,5 km apart and major arterials (Class 2) are 1,5 to 4,0 km apart. The suburbs in between are therefore typically about one to two kilometres wide (forming 100 to 400 ha blocks). In these areas, cars, trucks and buses are banned.
