Description

INTRODUCTION This short manual contains information that many already know, and information that many do not know. It is about our transportation systems, our roads, and our past, current, and future means of moving people and goods from point 'A' to point 'B'. MATERIAL COST It looks at the materials we use for building our transportation systems, our means of transportation on land, and the massive cost in lives and money we incur in our attempts to maintain our systems. EISENHOWER's LIE AND MISTAKE The author describes the mistake we made in the late 1950s and he provides a thought on how to proceed for the next 100 years, i.e. the PODS Transportation System. PODS This is a chapter on the Point to Point Transport of Goods that we can be using that will provide us with better food, faster just in time productions, and less transportation cost. ELIMINATION OF ROADS Can we develop a transport system that eliminates roads, the author believes this can be done. VEHICLE TRAVEL There is a chapter on the Advantages of Vehicle Travel as well as chapters on eliminating personal and corporate vehicles in lieu of high-speed rail, people movers, freight movers, drones, and other transport types. DO YOU HAVE AN IDEA This is light reading that is designed to be read by all ages, and designed to encourage all to look at our transportation system, and hopefully think about possible changes that can be incorporated for our future, world wide.
