Problems of modern transport systems and their solutions

In the modern world, transport sector is the largest and the most popular business on a scale of all world economy. Moreover, transport has become an integral part of every person's life.

However, existing transport technologies cause a number of problems:

if nothing is changed, over 100 mln people will have died in road accidents and over a billion will have become handicapped for the same reason by the end of the century;
existing transport solutions cause irreparable damage to the environment, disturb movement of surface and ground waters, as well as natural habitats and migration routes of animals and birds;
transport systems are very expensive and material-intensive - therefore their construction and operation imply considerable consumption of financial and material resources.

Problems of modern transport systems and their solutions

All these problems are absent in the SkyWay technology. SkyWay technology is a transport and infrastructure complex with an overpass string-rail track structure.

It uses the main advantages of railway transport, and its location on "the second level" ensures safety and sustainable use of land and resources. In addition, the cost of construction and operation is significantly lower than that of existing transport solutions.

Transport and infrastructure SkyWay technologies have the largest potential world markets on the planet - larger than, for example, mobile communication, computers, electronics, which already today have sales markets for trillions of dollars per year.

Advantages of transport and infrastructure SkyWay technologies:

low net cost of construction and transport service;
low energy consumption;
minimal land acquisition;
full automation;
highest degree of safety;
high speed indices;
use of renewable sources of energy;
recovery of living fertile soil;
no harmful effects on humans and the environment;
saving of time and financial expenses;
short payback period.
