JPods Concept: 10x Paradigm Shift

Payback case for JPods



Fire, Earthquake and Beach Defense

Rescue-Rail networks can be temporarily deployed to:
  • Mitigate transportation disruptions after an earthquake.
  • Deploy along contours to deliver water and help fight fires.
  • Create and then remove wave breaks.

Match Stations to Communities

Power of Niche Solutions: JPods, Bikes, LUVs (Local Use Vehicles), ET3 and others

JPods are railroads that are grade-separated from the organic plane. People and animals move without risk of accidents from 2 ton vehicles. As more and more congested car traffic is removed from roads, roads become safer for alternative transportation solution. Bikes and Local Use Vehicles become safe to use.

Since CargoPods, DirtPods, SewagePods, TrashPods and other specialty vehicles also remove truck traffic, lower the costs of moving goods and cost of highway repairs (road costs increase as the 4th power of axle weight). Connecting the city to rail heads, airports and harbors will substantially improve the cities options for resupply and waste removal.

Freight railroads average 480 ton-miles per gallon and will be the logistical arteries. JPods exceeding 250 passenger-miles per gallon will be logistical capillaries. JPods niche is commuter-range transport of people, cargo and waste in payloads less than 1200 pounds. There are niches for Local Use Vehicles and High Speed networks.



JPods formed an alliance with Club Car in 2009 to integrate Local Use Vehicles with JPods networks to provide safe, low cost, last mile solutions. JPods is working to deploying networks in Fayette County, GA. The County for Peachtree City.



We will make it so vehicle such as the ELF can be transported by a JPods network.
