Bi-modal Glideway

Like all bi-modal systems, this design has great advantages over standard roads.  It uses specially designed vehicles with both rubber and auxiliary steel wheels. Its main innovation is a unique, vertical switching design, like an escapement mechanism, between the on/off  ramps and the main track. This allows a vehicle to switch between a main track and a ramp at full speed – but does so in a vertical plane and not on a horizontal plane as TEV does. This is a highly original and patented design. We might suggest some additions such as sidewalks (in case of emergencies) and electric power for the cars, as we imagine they could both easily be incorporated into the design. Visit the Bi-modal Glideway website
