OBJECTIVE
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 page 3
• To show that the proposed solution – Zooma – is • a feasible paradigm-shift pathway • warrants funding to a stage where Zooma can be examined on its merits in
any global city’s metropolitan urban transport and land use planning strategy • Structure of presentation
• the energy and transport context in which Zooma fits • explain what Zooma is • compare Zooma to other modes • apply Zooma to Sydney to illustrate feasibility

ENERGY AND TRANSPORT CONTEXT
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 page 4
①Energy sources from non-renewable to renewable
②Fossil-fuel use from extensive to zero
③Concentrated linear routing to distributed parallel routing
④Access proximity of transport from area-to-area to point-to-point
⑤Shared use of transport vehicles from limited to extensive
⑥Digital integration into transport from limited to deep
⑦Vehicle control from manual to automated
⑧Use of transport-dedicated people time from high to low
⑨ Land dedicated to transport from high to low

WHAT IS ZOOMA ?
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 5
• Zooma consists of:
• a new transport mode called Gazelle
• a functional interface called the Super Postal Service • Gazelle is:
• an elevated tube in every street, access lifts every 60 metres (200 feet)
• small light vehicles (plats) carrying 4 or 6 passengers, or 2 pallets of freight
• plats glide on an air cushion and propelled by a linear motor
• self-reliant on renewable energy (solar panels), with 1 month energy storage
• energy efficient and fully automated
• Super Postal Service is:
• software that is accessed via a smart-phone app, computer, internet
• a suite of transport and logistic functions that orchestrate Gazelle
• responsibility and care of passengers and freight

WILL ZOOMA WORK IN PRACTICE ?
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 page 8
• Examine Zooma for • volume feasibility • pricing feasibility • economic feasibility
• Mid-sized global city — Sydney
![Page 9: SMART International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure: A feasible pathway for Australia’s next infrastructure paradigm](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/55498b47b4c90554648b5368/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
MID-SIZED GLOBAL CITY — SYDNEY
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 9
• Population — 4.6 million • Private vehicle numbers — 2.6 million • Passenger transport
• Average weekday trips — 16.5 million • Average trip length — 11 km ( 7 miles ) • Dominant mode — road 68% of average weekday travel
• Freight transport • Average weekday task — 13 million tonne-km (9 million ton-miles)
• Road network — 21,000 kilometres (13,000 miles)
![Page 10: SMART International Symposium for Next Generation Infrastructure: A feasible pathway for Australia’s next infrastructure paradigm](https://reader037.fdocuments.in/reader037/viewer/2022103113/55498b47b4c90554648b5368/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CAN ZOOMA FULFILL THIS TRANSPORT TASK ?
3 October, 2013 ISNGI, AUSTRALIA 2013 page 10
• Zooma sized to cope with 2050 volumes for Sydney (pop 7.3 mil)
• 23 million passenger trips per day
• 50 million tonne-kilometres of freight per workday (34 million ton-miles)
• Zooma’s peak capacity — 4.6 million passenger trips per hour • How?
• Use of distributed parallel track network • Global optimised routing • High occupancy rate — near 100% • High average speed — 80 km/hr ( 50 mph ) • High volume track can be bi-directional
• More network capacity can be attained by using more plats — up to a point • Dynamic pricing to spread traffic load in a globally co-ordinated way so
congestion is avoided
