Non-Stop Commute on railway

Once upon a time, I took Cal-train to San Francisco from Sunnyvale. The train has to stop and start in all stations on the way. I have been dreaming someday, there is a better transportation tool to offer a no-stop commute and passengers can save waiting time in way point stations.

It’s time for this dream to come true. Take a loop railway for example: pretend each station has a unit waiting for passengers. Each unit can speed up to a constant speed by itself at the right timing. The constant speed is the moving train speed for non-stop commute. When the moving train catches up the accelerated unit, they chain together and offer a path for passengers to walk through onboard. The moving train always drops the last unit in station for passengers to take off. Passengers get their trip a non-stop commute when their unit stops.

Depend on the size of the station, multi- units can be set in waiting. And the moving train can drop the same amount of multi-units to meet the requirement in the same station. Please click the following to see the demo:

Obviously, non-stop commute on railway has the following advantages:

•        Non-Stop for passengers from any start station to any target station

•        Safer since synchronize operation for all train units

•        Save unnecessary acceleration to moving train units, or save energy

•        Save unnecessary braking to moving train units, or save cost
