How can ORBIT Commuter check all the boxes for professional commuters?
Let’s explore the solution that ORBIT provides in a little more detail, but we will start with a big-picture overview and then discuss the details.
ORBIT is an urban mobility solution integrating existing technologies where . . .
ORBIT is a unique commuting solution in that it could be built today. It requires no new technologies to make it possible. The battery technology is simple “old school” low tech that’s been around for years. The command-and-control function is no more complex than the technology currently employed in the mapping software of your phone or the swarm control used by today’s drone manufacturers.
But ORBIT isn’t for every city or everyone in every situation. ORBIT is a solution that is optimized for large urban environments struggling for space to grow and have “enough room to breathe.” This means that ORBIT works best for cities that are geographically constrained (up against the mountain or caught between the river and the sea) but still want a thriving urban heartbeat in their city center.
. . . Commuters have their own vehicles and are able to commute door-to-door . . .
ORBIT enables commuters to own their own vehicle – which means they drive the same vehicle every day and park it in their own garage. They don’t need to share their personal space with strangers or worry about leaving something behind in the vehicle.
And ORBIT is a door-to-door commuters’ solution. Commuters can leave from their own driveway and stay comfortably and safely in their own vehicle until they arrive at the office. No mode changes where they have to exit their vehicle and walk across a crowded parking lot or wait for a train or bus.
. . . Gliding along safely, securely, & almost silently at highway speeds . . .
ORBIT is fast. We are not talking about “ludicrous speed” – we are talking about highway speeds on the rail network where things are comfortable and relaxing but will get you there in short order.
ORBIT vehicles are safe and secure. There’s no need to “guard your purse” or worry about what communicable diseases the person might have had that previously sat in this seat. It’s your vehicle – you can keep it as clean as you wish, or leave that half-eaten candy bar in the cupholder for your ride home after work.
. . . Using a monorail network that enables autonomous navigation, peacefully . . .
Getting somewhere on the ORBIT monorail system is like a walk in the park, except that you don’t have to walk. Navigation on the rail network is entirely autonomous and automatic, so you can sleep or read or work or study. On the rail network, you don’t have to actively control your vehicle at all – let the ORBIT network deliver you to your destination link station with no stress, anxiety, or tension.
. . . Circumventing traffic and reducing congestion on arterial roadways while . . .
The grade-separated ORBIT rail network allows you to completely bypass all of the chaos and congestion on the ground level. No more creeping along the highway in a linear parking lot, or figuring out how you can merge between that semi truck and its trailer before your lane ends. While those folks are sweating down there, you can be cruising along quietly overhead and completely skipping over the ulcers and indigestion below – and you will probably be quietly approaching your destination before their antacid even starts to take effect.
. . . Reducing energy and creating fewer greenhouse gases and noxious emissions.
ORBIT vehicles are extremely energy efficient (using something like 1/3 the electrical energy of a modern electric car) while on the roads, and even MORE efficient while on the rail. This means that you can rest easier at night knowing that your commuting carbon footprint is practically a shadow in comparison.
