Getting most people to jump the queue saves time and keeps the toll as low as possible. Traffic must be metered to remove congestion. A green wave will then travel at the speed limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA worked example shows massive increases in traffic capacity and trip speed, and increased safety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAerial Podcars - Profitable, 4x faster, reliable, cheap urban transport, better service than cars\u003cstrong\u003e.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExisting transport performance is insipid. Peak hour trips for cars only average 15kph, 23kph and 38kph, for the inner, middle and outer Melbourne areas. Delay cost is $22B. Externalities of transport systems are very serious. Attempts to improve existing transport systems are expensive but not effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAerial podcars are the only mode with reasonable prospects of providing good urban transport and of seriously reducing the subsidies, the road toll, assaults, degraded amenity and emissions. They are four times faster than cars, pleasant, private, with personal seamless routes, extremely reliable, of high capacity, and profitable, yet priced less than other options. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Cleeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1646330471\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781646330478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e John Cleeland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/13\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 84\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.23d","brand":"John Cleeland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48445498982655,"sku":"9781646330478","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13dd310b-b94c-4ae8-a19f-b155d14d2bbb.jpg?v=1777218928","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crafting-green-waves-aerial-john-cleeland-9781646330478","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
