Using Cancun Mexico as an example, the 10x examples of JPods are presented

1. • traveling anywhere
• anytime of day, seven days per week
• non-stop
• without traffic
• without pollution
• without noise
• and, with a certainty of travel time.
Imagine

2. JPods, grade separated solar-powered networks

5. Travel Times - from the airport
Travel time from Red X
start point:
•Blue is 10 minutes.
•Yellow is 20 minutes.
•Red is 30 minutes.

6. Travel Times - from the north beach
Travel time from Red X
start point:
•Blue is 10 minutes.
•Yellow is 20 minutes.
•Red is 30 minutes.

7. Travel Times - from the city
Travel time from Red X
start point:
•Blue is 10 minutes.
•Yellow is 20 minutes.
•Red is 30 minutes.

8. JPods cost per
passenger-mile:
•10x less than cars.
•25x less than trains.
•50x less than buses.
JPods cut operating costs and pollution by 10x.

9. Energy per passenger-mile
cars 3447 BTUs = 1.01 kW-hr
buses 4118 BTUs = 1.21 kW-hr
trains 2520 BTUs = 0.75 kW-hr.
JPods 212 BTUs = 0.062 kW-hr
JPods provide a 10x reduction in energy
Stop moving two tons to move a person in start-stop traffic.

10. JPods provide a 10x increase in safety
Roads death-rate: 106/million.
JPods injury-rate 0.2/million.
Similar to JPods:
• Morgantown, WV Personal Rapid
Transit (PRT) network, similar to
JPods, delivered 110 million
injury-free passenger-miles. In
that same period, 1.7 million
Americans died on roads.
• Theme park (ASTM-F24) injury-
rate is 0.2 per million.

11. JPods provide a 10x reduction in congestion
• Go where you want.
• Go when you want.
• Known travel time.
• 24x7.
• As with the Internet, JPods
will start in niches. An airport
example is provided.
Traffic congestion costs the
people of Mexico City:
• $5 billion/year in congestion.
• 55 hours of peak
congestion/week.
• Must buy a car at $8,600
year of costs.

12. • Buses and trains treat
people like cattle.
• JPods treat you like your car.
• On-demand.
• No traveling with strangers.
• Communicates in most languages.
JPods increase service by 10x

13. Roll-in and roll-out of vehicles.
Herringbone Stations -
flexible loading times.
In-line Stations
greater throughput
capacity
JPods provide a 10x increase in loading options

14. JPods provide 10x more stations
• Network capacity is primarily
determined by the number of stations.
• Small footprint, low cost stations,
allows a network with more stations.
• Moving freight and people justifies the
cost of even more stations.

15. Seat Capacity per Hour (not all seats are filled):
Seats per Vehicle Headway Seats per Hour
Bus 0-50, 50 used 5 mins 600
Light Rail 0-200, 200 used 10 mins 1200
Automobiles 1-6, 4 used 1-6 secs 4800
JPods 1-6, 4 used 3 secs 4800
JPods 1-6, 4 used 1 secs 14400
JPods capacity:
•5x cars.
•10x trains.
•20x buses.
Empty tracks between
trains determines train
network capacity, not
how many people fit in a
train.
This “seat” capacity/hr
illustrates the counter-intuitive
kanban fact that small packet
networks have greater
capacity that batch processes
such as buses and trains.
JPods apply Just-in-Time, Six
Sigma, to the mobility
process.
JPods would build multiple
rails before reaching technical
capacity for service reasons.
JPods provide 10x more capacity than buses & trains

16. JPods networks
costs about $10
million/mile.
Light Rail costs
$100+ million/mile.
Hart Line above is
now at $500
million/mile.
JPods cut capital costs by 10x

17. JPods are energy self-reliant, a 10x benefit
JPods networks
gather more energy
than is required to
power the networks.
Patent pending energy
storage system.

18. For illustration only. Roads
are not likely to be removed in
most locations.
JPods reduce real estate consumption by 10x

19. Similar JPods, Kiva orange robot networks move goods
warehouses. Between 2003-6 Kiva obtained $18.1 million in
capital.
In 2012, Amazon bought Kiva for $775 million.

21. JPods:
• On-demand, JPods
wait for passengers
instead of passengers
waiting for
trains/buses.
• Direct, no
connections.
• 24x7.
• Known travel time.
New airport (NAICM) to Mexico City:
• Mass Transit: 55 minutes, schedule.
• Cars: 54 minutes, variable.
• JPods: 25 minutes, 24x7, no wait time.

Solution
Imagine your city without traffic jams.
90% of traffic costs can be recovered
as jobs and value by ending
those traffic jams.
