Technical data

Beams: 1.1 m high and 0.8 m wide, with different material thickness and costs, depending on load.
Supports: At distances of 30 m ± 10 m, enabling a free passage under beam vehicles of 5 m.
Tunnels: Considerably smaller than road tunnels.
Vehicles: Many different types. Examples: Beam cars: 1 - 10 seats. Beam busses: 16 - 32 seats. Environmental cars: Electric, hybrid. Car mover: 1 car. Cargo: 1 - 7 tons.
Velocities: Outside towns: 130 km/h. In towns: 50 - 75 km/h. In downtown areas: 30 - 50 km/h. In tunnels: 130 km/h.
Flows: Cars: 5 000 - 15 000 persons/h and direction - corresponds to 2 - 5 road car lanes. Busses: 40 000 - 60 000 persons/h and direction - more than in a subway net.
Stops: Small: 1 - 3 serial berths (landing surfaces). Larger: More than 3 often parallel berths.
Energy: Five times less raw energy, or better, compared to road traffic.
Total cost: 10% - 30% of corresponding road traffic in denser areas.
