      Thijs Carnal yes it is still working under Massage City. Unfortunately it's not up to its true potential with a grid system with many stations but it still is ticking away!

      When we build it it was intended to run within the whole of Masdar City but unfortunately it hasn't yet
      But the plan sure was to expand it
      Al those test drives with an GolfCar over the course for messing the signal strength when it was still being build where awesome.
      working with the Boom and Scissor lifts getting the Cable up there sure was hard work but well worth it.

    fun fact: youtube has an option to change the playback speed. So instead of speeding up the footage you can leave it playing in real time and anyone who's too impatient to watch the full thing can choose to speed it up or skip ahead. This saves you a lot of work and makes your videos more relevant

    It's a shame that the system was reduced to just a couple of stations. They say that the costs of the undercroft to separate the guideways from pedestrian traffic was the reasons why the program was cut but the whole Masdar plan was not to dig into the ground but to elevate the landscaped pedestrian exterior above ground level both for cooler winds and to avoid the costs of tunneling the automated guideways.

    I have used the Heathrow version on a number of occasions, but I feel Only a real test will come when they decide to roll this out as a bus line replacement in zero emission zones, the prt they are using in the driverless zones is just limited to 20mph and is mainly on pedestrian zones, I feel they need to double the speed make it mini bus sized must use dedicated lanes such as bus lanes but also be transitional to conventional roads if required etc and also have multi pickup zones that people can uber or man request on demand that way they can replace scheduled bus lines with low demand or supplement existing lines ideally I hope an ev bus sized prt comes online soon for an Oxford street replacement service

      Sudipto Roy the pod cars use regular wheels and electric motors to power it. “The pods are controlled by an advanced navigation system that uses magnets embedded in the roadway while onboard sensors detect any obstacles in their path. They are powered by a battery that recharges while the pods are standing in the stations between trips.”

      I wish PRT systems would have taken off but I believe that self driving cars (hopefully all electric) will replace the need for PRT systems. It makes me sad because I really was behind this technology, but the future doesn't always happen the way I want it too.

    • @qjtvaddict

      Luke Starkenburg to be honest the only functioning PRT system that has taken off or that is an operation as actual system is in some rural suburb area in the US Morgantown West Virginia

    Geez... how was the speed level when you were inside the car? The acceleration looked like that of a slower roller coaster when I was watching, and going onto switches at high speed looked stomach-churning.

    We're looking at the future too much through a mostly 20th century life. The 21st century: people can work from home or wherever they want; cars more driving themselves; Uber, Lfyt rides maybe becoming sky-rides, too; revolutionary Hyperloop possibility; etc.

    • @Luke_Starkenburg

    Pretty soon regular cars are going to be able to do this without any further infrastructure like the strips in the ground and they will be able to bring you straight to the front door, not to a station where you have to further walk to get to where you want to go.

    • @Luke_Starkenburg
      @Luke_Starkenburg  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nathan Curet I love the concept of PRT but I completely agree with you that soon robot taxis will take you from your house to where you want to be without the use of dedicated infrastructure. I’m sad in a way that we probably won’t ever see a large or medium sized PRT system implemented anywhere but in a way, all of our regular streets and highways could be a PRT network in the future using automated Uber or something similar.

    • @cheese-je9xs
      @cheese-je9xs 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      The PRT system is very cool and is an excellent solution in a world without autonomous cars....but that's soon to not be the world anymore. As pointed out, autonomous cars will soon be able to pick you up at any door and take you to any door very quickly, very safely, and very cheep. The PRT system on the other hand has some disadvantages in comparison, very costly construction in addition to being almost impossible to implement in a city that isn't built from the ground up to facilitate it, it must be built underground which is not possible in many places, you must walk up and down levels to get to it, it is not door to door, anyone commuting in or out of its very limited service range is going to have to switch modes of transportation right in the middle, when usage really picks up you are going to have major capacity issues, and requires extensive infrastructure. So yes an autonomous uber would be better in almost every way. Even for privately owned cars, if they are autonomous they could drop you off at your location and then go find the cheapest available parking spot on its own regardless of how far away it is.
