Fastransit's Harbor Freight Animation

FASTRANSIT’s freight capacity will also revolutionize freight forwarding, by allowing specific containers to be offloaded onto individual flatcars that could then be sent directly to their destination on the freight interstate – again, no need to wait for a long trainload of containers to be loaded up one by one. This ability will vastly increase the throughput capacity at ports such as Los Angeles/Long Beach, where the Alameda rail corridor from the ports to inland freight terminals is quickly nearing capacity.

FASTRANSIT’s unique capability to provide electronic instantaneous switching will allow urban mass transit systems to offer better service on high-volume routes; it will also allow utilization of smaller vehicles in either Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) or Group Rapid Transit (GRT) (seen here) configurations, with dramatically shorter headways than current transit systems require. The result will be more frequent and convenient service, lower overall travel times, higher passenger volumes per hour, and lower operating costs.

Fastransit's Tabletop Demo 2

The scale model maglev train was taken from concept to working prototype in just under six months. The prototype system uses the patented Stabilized Permanent Magnet (SPM) suspension technology which is easily scaled to accommodate larger and heavier vehicles for the transport of passengers or freight.

Fastransit's GRT Vehicle up Close

Currently, urban mass transit consists of trains of multiple cars carrying up to several hundred passengers per train and running with headways of several minutes, at best. The requirement for each train to stop at each station along the way results in longer origin-to-destination transit times. Off-peak headways are considerably longer because of the equipment and labor inefficiencies at lower ridership densities.
