Rapid Transit System | ||
| The key to this vehicle design is asymmetrical passenger loading and unloading. We don't suggest that the passengers are unbalanced, but rather that it takes a group of passengers more time to find a seat and travel through a car to get to the seat than it does to get an already seated passenger to an exit. Our design features an entry side and an exit side. The entry side is punctuated by two large doors to accomodate a crowd embarking from a station platform on the entry side. On the exit side there are many small doors located between every set of seating benches to rapidly siphon off debarking passengers.For more information contact: r.b.hawkins@alumni.cmu.edu |
