Superbus - Are limos the future of public transport?

The Superbus concept, which is invented by prof. Wubbo Ockels, is a concept for public transport that uses high speed, (150 – 250 km/h) road driven vehicles. The vehicles drive at high speed on dedicated infrastructure, the so-called Super tracks. The vehicles drive at normal speeds on existing roads. The basic idea is to offer comfortable, demand driven, point-to-point transport that is able to compete with cars and high speed trains.
Next to the development of the vehicle itself, research will be performed into dedicated infrastructure. These Super tracks can be located close to existing highways. In winter they will be geothermically heated in order to prevent icing. By storing heat in the summer and using it in winter this system will not require additional energy. Next to that it will have a beneficial effect on road maintenance due the more constant temperature of the road during the whole of the year.
In order to make point-to-point transport possible an ordering system will be developed. This ordering system will make use of internet and SMS. The system will try to combine passengers with the same origin and destination as much as possible. This results in minimizing the number of stops needed during the trip.
Next to the development of an experimental demonstration vehicle, research into logistics, infrastructure, safety, reliability and return on investment will be performed. The total costs of the design and development of the experimental demonstration vehicle is estimated at 8.5 million euro.

The Future of New York Taxis and Limousines

Last January marked the 100th anniversary of New York City's first metered taxi cab. To celebrate the anniversary, there was an exhibit at the New York International Auto Show dubbed as the Taxi 07. New York taxis are probably the least high tech when compared to other cabs from first world nations. NYC's Taxi and Limousine Commission hopes to change that by approving a plan to install touch-screen monitors in all 13,000 city cabs over the next several months. Taxi owners will have until Aug. 1 to select one of four systems and starting Oct. 1, the taxis are required to have the technology when they come up for inspection. The League of Mutual Taxi Owners (LOMTO) in New York has recently announced that they already chose TaxiTech to provide them with the system. TaxiTech's eTaxi System was rated as Excellent by 76% of New Yorkers. The survey was conducted by the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC). Because of the TLC's approval and the rating given to them by NYC's riding public are the main reasons why LOMTO chose TaxiTech. The eTaxi has a 17 inch interactive touch screen that provides passengers with media content. The system can broadcast videos to the passenger, let them listen to music, or view a GPS map so that they can see exactly where they are. The eTaxi also enables passengers to pay via their credit or debit card and has an integrated accounting software so taxi fleet owners would not have to be burdened with manually recording card transactions on their books. TaxiTech wrote on their website that future enhancements of the eTaxi would enable passengers to buy movie tickets, make restaurant reservations or check in to a hotel. The eTaxi system also provides invaluable tools to taxi fleet owners as well as dispatchers and city officials. The eTaxi has a computerized dispatch system that only needs a PC and an internet access for the dispatcher. The eTaxi system also comes with an Automatic Vehicle Locator that lets taxi owners know the location of the vehicle from the time a passenger is picked-up to the point of drop-off. There's also a text messaging system included so owners can send SMS messages to taxi drivers, it has a safety feature so that only non-emergency messages are displayed on the driver's terminal when the taxi is stopped. The text messaging feature would make it easier for passengers to locate lost items and help dispatchers and officials manage their taxis in case of emergency. Aside from touch screens with internet content is already under way, other future technology that we might expect from New York taxi cabs are; wheelchair-accessible taxis with built-in ramps, taxi stands with GPS kiosks, LED-based roof signs, amd hydrogen powered taxis.

MJM Innovations Launches TaxiCard

BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MJM Innovations, a management and technology firm focused on transportation solutions, announced today the launch of TaxiCard®, a reloadable prepaid card that can be used to pay for taxi, sedan or limousine services.
“TaxiCard is easy to use and manage because it eliminates the need to carry cash. Cardholders or their families can easily add value and track transactions, either online or on the phone,” said Jeffrey Venick, CEO. “Each time the card is used, the transaction amount is automatically deducted from the balance.”
Venick said TaxiCard will appeal to a broad range of customers, including college students and their parents, and seniors who want to remain active members of the community even though they are no longer able to drive.
“We’re confident that parents of college students will appreciate the assurance that a student carrying a TaxiCard won’t be stranded somewhere without a ride,” Venick said. “No one wants their child to risk riding with an impaired driver or a date who makes them uncomfortable. Parents will also like knowing that their money is being used for its intended purpose.”
TaxiCard may be used to pay for any taxi, sedan or limousine service that accepts Discover® Network Cards. The card will be declined if anyone attempts to use it with other merchants.
Venick noted that TaxiCard addresses the need for transportation options identified by the White House Conference on Aging. “It’s a great way to help seniors close the mobility gap that occurs when life expectancy exceeds driving expectancy,” he said. “With TaxiCard®, they can go everywhere they need to go while maintaining their sense of independence.”
TaxiCard is also being used in government transportation programs, and beer and liquor companies can incorporate it into their safe ride campaigns. Transportation providers can use TaxiCard to eliminate coupons, vouchers and scrip. They simply treat the fare payment exactly as they would any other credit card or debit card transaction. Online, real-time authorizations, zero floor limits and industry-leading data security standards and audits help minimize losses from fraud.
Consumers may purchase, manage and add value to their TaxiCard online at www.taxicard.com. A secure log-in at the site enables users to take advantage of sophisticated transaction tracking, real-time reporting and billing functions. Telephone and mail service are also available.
TaxiCard is issued by MetaBank. Discover Network® and the Discover® Network Acceptance Mark are service marks used by MetaBank under license from Discover Financial Services LLC.
