Roane Inventions TriTrack

The TriTrack is a "personal rapid transit" (PRT) type vehicle, capable of both travel on regular streets and on an elevated monorail. The monorail would be triangular in shape (hence "TriTrack"), as would be the "mules" which slot into the same space in the vehicle and allow travel on surface streets. Although the existing plans call for mules only capable of Neighborhood Electric Vehicle (NEV) performance (25 MPH top speed), presumably for the race they will be constructing mules with far better performance and range. This will be necessary since the rules make it pretty clear that only existing infrastructure can be used, and it's highly unlikely that 10 US cities will have a network of triangular monorails by 2010 :-). Anyway, interesting vehicle concept, check out the Roane Inventions TriTrack page (PDF) or read on for the same information presented in HTML.
