The PODyssey system can move pods containing parcels and people by using electricity instead of air-polluting fuels, and can create a city-wide network for people to go from work to home, for parcels to be delivered all over the city. Journeys can be completed in a single pod by using multiple modes of travel. One pod can be moved on the road, lifted by a tram system, run on tracks, and even moved by a flying drone, with all travel modes powered by electricity.
All electric transport system Autonomous transport system Evolutionary transport options Transport of passengers and parcels Transport of light goods, urgent mail, urgent medical products Move by drones, on hardened tram tracks, overhead rail, in tunnels, on roads Stay in same pod for entire journey Easy autonomous transition from one travel mode to another Pods recharged while in motion No known competition Environmentally safe Pods enable isolated personal transportation, minimizing risk of infection
This technology provides an opportunity for development of an end-to-end autonomous all-electric parcel delivery system using pods, to be subsequently shared with passenger transport such that parcels, light goods, if needed, or passenger(s), can remain in the same pod for the entire journey. The system does not
