Bimodal Glideway

the bimodal glideway project is a new incarnation of the 60 year old possibility of bimodal transportation. bimodal transportation involves vehicles that can operate on conventional streets and highways and on separated guide ways. in the former they are driver controlled; in the latter they are system controlled and travel without driver intervention. as with earlier bimodal concepts, the bimodal glideway system incorporates vehicles that travel both on guide ways and on the present highway and street system. automobiles using the bimodal technology enter onto a glideway and automatically convert to all-electric, high speed vehicles, no longer requiring driver control. riding on a single lane, grade separated glideway, each bimodal vehicle travels at high speed controlled by vehicle-glideway interacting systems. on existing roadways the vehicles operate conventionally. traffic would flow faster and more safely than conventional traffic, and drivers would be freed up for other activiti
