Innovation for Transportation Systems Snapshots of A High Quality Mobility Services for 21st Century Realities TEN Systems
Metrolite Guided Tour 2.0 (based on MobilityXS model)
May 22, 2015
Transportation systems across the world have not yet come to grips with the reality of energy supplies, environment as well as of limited land space for building more roads for ever larger number of vehicles to find their way out of problems of traffic congestion. In single or low occupancy vehicles, more people have little choice but to drive. With traffic congestion, tortuous parking conditions, poor accessibility for a large cross-section of elderly population and others who do not own a vehicle or can drive them alone, road accidents and many other problems, existing transportation scenario, across the world, in varying degrees is in a disarray.
What is it ?
MobilityXS is not a new brand of coffee. It is only similar in its effect.
It is refreshing.
Some of the most astounding problems of our times relate to our ability to meet transportation needs for people and for goods.
MobilityXS is as refreshing in its approach to overcome the psychological inertia that inhibits use of diverse technologies and management techniques to create a new system for our transportation needs, as a hot cup of the brew is to a bad headache or to the morning after hang over.
In a path-breaking approach, MobilityXS utilises existing technologies in communication, location, computing time and continual advancement in size, capacity and costs of these devices, and in materials and construction technologies.
Similarly management techniques such as pay-as-you-use principle; reward and compensation for services rendered by users to the system - such as quality driving, trading of empty seats, unused parking space etc.; reporting of public property damage, inferior quality roads, traffic rule evasion etc.
It connects.
Coffee brews conversation and connection. It is said to stimulate bright ideas. Many a raging issue are discussed and deals struck over cups of coffee. MobilityXS aims to connect people in a variety of new ways.
It brings them together on time and faster (so that the coffee does not get cold). It facilitates conversation by allowing them to choose their favored co-traveler or connects them through communication networks, even while they are traveling. It offers them choice to drive with compensation and reward or to take a ride, on a longer trip on the Expressways at high speeds on Heavy, Multi-fuel Vehicles (HMVs).
For shorter trips in and around neighborhoods, they have choices to take a Light Electric Vehicle (LEVs)- like a rickshaw, golf-cart, cybercar or a velotaxi - that will be primarily charged with renewable energy sources - or to ride a bicycle - personalized and serviced by a service provider allowing it to ride as far as it is comfortable and convenient to you or to just take a walk on the Streets - uninterrupted by any HMV.
LEVs will be available at short distances that you can also call for a pick up service from your starting point.
In carefully demarcated zoning arrangement, slow moving modes - walking, cycling and LEVs - and the fast moving modes - HMVs such as cars, vans, light truck, buses, heavy trucks, trailers etc. have mutually exclusive access to Streets and Expressways respectively.

Innovation for Transportation Systems
Snapshots of A High Quality Mobility Services for 21st Century Realities
TEN Systems
What are 21st Century realities?Inhabited areas around the world are coming to terms
with limits to resources– land, water, power, air quality, healthy food supply, oil and minerals etc.
The challenge is to create smart and lean lifestyle choices while maintaining an ever higher quality of life.
This presents enormous challenges for transport and land use planning and demands higher level solutions……higher than the level at which these problems were created.
MetroLITE Model is a response to this outstanding need.
“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.”
~ Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) Physicist & Nobel Laureate
Circa 2009: Car companies cannot become profitable again by selling more cars. The belief that more people need to buy more varieties of cars more often, created loss making car companies.
What’s the next level?

K – Flexible solar sheet covers on the length and width of neighborhood roads provide shade and cooling for passerby as well as are used for charging electric vehicles.
I – Quality of roads is better due to use of suitable materials as well as low wear and tear as only light vehicles are allowed.
J – Use of suitable materials can also minimize localized heat generation as well as allow better passage for rain water
MetroLITE – “Think Rail, Use Roads” I
Create Road-based System in complement to Metro Rail Network Metro Stations = MetroLITE stations Coaches = High occupancy, Plug-in Electric
Hybrid vehicles (150km/litre) Dedicated corridor = Pre-ordained routes,
Semi-automatic guided vehicles, Demand-driven carriage capacity and quality
MetroLITE– “Think Rail, Use Roads” II
Expands mass transit network at a lower cost particularly for areas where passenger density is not high
Creates door-to-door reach by seamless integration of feeder service and with other modes
Similar in many ways, it is a leapfrog advancement over conventional Bus Rapid Transit Systems in terms of attractiveness and affordability
Mission MetroLITEDemand-responsive Service :
Uses a Fleet of Eco-friendly Vehicle (EV) for Feeder Trips (<3kms.) for Bus/MRT/ Carpool and for Short Trips (<8 kms.)
Develop a network of EV Stations at 0.5-1 km distance around the city.
EV-friendly routes connect inner residential areas to arterial routes (with congestion/emission charging for space-inefficient, polluting vehicles )and encourage more and more people to “avoid” cars for short trips/ single-driven/low occupancy trips.
It facilitates “attractive” bus service, metro rail service as well as highly attractive personalised car sharing/pooling service.

Delivers High Quality Multi-modal Travel Experience
Planning for High Capacity Transit System
Define Catchment Area Access Control/ Congestion Charging Zone of 3 km corridor on either
side Access preference to Light Eco-friendly Vehicles Access time between 5-15 minutes Revenue potential from higher commercial value of surrounding areas
as it enables greater footfalls Seamless integration of feeder service enables optimal spacing of
Metro Stations to ~2 kms. Enables passenger carrying capacity to be increased by 200% - at the
same time allowing more trips per hour over conventional planned systems.
Reduces travel time Increases frequency of service and enables better handling of peak
hour traffic Shifts short distance travel from Metro to NVs
Provision of high capacity bicycle rack facility and service bay for pick up and drop of passengers in the station area Improves accessibility for larger number of people
Risks & MitigationPolicy Risk: Scramble or Blueprint?
Scramble is a scenario, where each country looks after their self-interest and try to optimize within their own boundaries.
In Blueprint, each country looks after their self-interest but they try to optimize globally, in step with the real boundaries of the problem.
1. Build a powerful MetroLITE alliance as a WIN-WIN with auto, telecom, energy, IT companies to synchronize the MetroLITE cycle to the electoral cycles
2. Marketing programs aimed at creating aspirations and loyalty for the MetroLITE brand as an integral part of the Blueprint Scenario.
Competitive Risk: Existing Players and New Players
1. Existing players offer products and services designed for the “troubled” legacy systems. Further, they provide one or a few of the components of an integrated Intelligent Transport System.
2. New Players: TEN Systems has a headstart over prospective competitors who can match the ingenuity of the MetroLITE design, due to its partly tacit and experiential nature.M
