Personal Rapid Transit and Masdar City PRT
Loading...
Uploaded by Mobilitytomorrow on May 4, 2010
Scientists have been developing Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) technology decades. It has diverse applications ranging from moving cargo at airports to transporting people on campuses and in cities. The developers of Masdar City, a carbon neutral, car free community in Abu Dhabi, are implementing an innovative and advanced PRT system that will include multiple podcars that are guided by a central computer and powered by solar panels. Planners face construction and programming challenges are they set out to build the infrastructure and expand the system.

@Derp1978 Looks like jalousy ^^

@CelticShinnie People who have amassed so much wealth over one generation, from being Nomads to Billionaires, we call these people the Neuvo-Rich (New Rich), these types of people are rude and have little idea on how to be humble with their wealth, they irrationally need to show off. The suburban and cheap-kitsch opulence look of the place adds to the soulless characteristics of the UAE, the consumerism and materialism makes it seem like a living hell.to me and it's the kind of shit I resent. ;)

Even though I see as UAE as a living hell, it's probably the best place to experiment new things, because these neuvo-rich people are willing to throw money on everything, I ain't saying it is a bad thing...
