The computer system
The main functional difference to the road system is,
that the vehicles will be able to exchange information
with the beam, adjacent vehicles, and various other
parts of the system.This will enable the traffic to flow
unhindered.
Regional computers will be used for traffic planning
and allocation of vehicles.They will allow the network
to grow gradually, for instance from one part of the
city to another.
Node computers in intelligent nodes will handle merging
and diverging of vehicles.
Vehicle computers will adapt the vehicle velocity and
choice of route.
Computers at the stops will handle the vehicle flow
on the stations, travel charging, and give the travellers
access to the vehicles.
Resilient computer configurations in all essential places
along the beam network guarantee reliability.
If an automatic elevator is allowed to transport people vertically,
why would not horizontal transport under automatic
control be safe?
