BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Implementation Example 1, Implementation of Section STS

[0227] For example, Section STS between places A and B, 1 person (or 1+1 persons) will need to travel by the Shuttle:

[0228] Setting up a station/stop at each of places A and B (called A Station and B Station respectively. They include Station System 1104 and Station Service System 2401.), one passenger (who may also ride with one family member, friend, or carpooler) ride a Shuttle after entering the destination B at the terminal of A Station, or enter the destination on User Control System 2204 after getting on a Shuttle. After settling in Seat System 1214, the door of the Shuttle closes automatically, and Audio-Visual Interaction System 1207 reminds passenger to fasten seat belt. At the same time, Identification System 1210 in the Shuttle automatically confirms the passenger's identity and matches the permit with the destination to determine whether the P/C is available, and if NO, Intelligent Central System 2201 sets the route as a regular lane (regular lane is also the shortest time duration preferred lane), if YES (such as military or law enforcement officers, students, doctors, etc.), the route is set as a priority lane or licensed lane, and if the passenger does not have the right to enter the destination, the passenger is reminded to modify the destination or is refused the ride. After that, Intelligent Central System 2201 automatically controls Shuttle Body System 1201 to travel at the highest possible speed on Magnetic-Road System 1102 in Pipeline System 1101, from A Station straight to B Station without any stations/stops in between. Before arrival, Audio-Visual Interaction System 1207 automatically reminds passenger to get ready to get off the Shuttle (no need to worry about missing his/her stop, and no missing). When arriving at B Station, the door will open automatically and passenger can get off the Shuttle with their bags. And then the Shuttle will automatically park online at an appropriate location in the pipeline, waiting for restart commands. During running, passenger may sit, lie down, or work, may use Air Conditioning System 1205, Lighting System 1206, may use Audio-Visual Interaction System 1207 to amuse himself or herself, or to link up and interact with others, or to change his or her destination. During running, if Health Monitoring Trigger System 2503 finds that the passenger's body is abnormal, then Health Emergency Response System 3101 is triggered to alert the passenger and get in touch with the hospital and guardian, and if necessary, the emergency channel is directly opened and the route is changed to take the passenger to the nearest suitable hospital (assuming that the hospital has already set up a station/stop). During running, if Identification System 1210 further judges that the passenger has significant suspicion, it will automatically activate the Special Control System 2205 to notify the police for verification, and if the passenger is indeed a suspect, the police will determine the disposition of the passenger and automatically record the passenger's trajectories, and, if necessary, directly lock the door of the Shuttle to detain the suspect to the Public Security Bureau (assuming that the Public Security Bureau has already set up a station/stop); During running, in case of fire, automatically trigger Fire Emergency Response System 3103, and make an emergency stop, open the door, open the nearest Escape Route, automatically start the sprinkler system if necessary, or quickly drive away, exit or avoid the fire section in advance. The data related to the whole process is uploaded by Data System 41 through Communication System 23, directly to Intelligent Central System 2201, and stored in Data Storage System 4103.

Implementation Example 2, Implementation of District STS and City STS

[0229] Based on Implementation Example 1, more stations/stops are added at different locations in Place A, and by connecting each station/stop by Pipe-Tunnel System 11, Place A apartment complex STS is formed. Usually, three stations/stops can form a District STS, and if the line to Place B is added, a larger District STS is formed, and so extended. The City STS is equivalent to a much larger District STS.

Implementation Example 3, Implementation of Intercity STS

[0230] Based on Implementation Example 2, constructing an Intercity STS from a station in City C to a station in City D (referred to as C Station and D Station), it is only necessary to add a Pipe-Tunnel System 11 between the two stations/stops on the outer edges of the two City STS to connect the two cities, and to add some Intercity Service System 2402 at appropriate spacing along the way. Get on the Shuttle from C Station, then go through the City STS lane of City C, and then travel along Pipeline System 1101 between City C and City D. During running, the passenger may take a small break at some Intercity Service System 2402, and then, go through the City STS lane of City D, which can directly reach D Station. The full route is the best path with the shortest time duration, and the Shuttle can travel between cities at much higher speeds, and One-Stop Arrival. In the whole process, no need like 2TS: first take vehicle or drive from C Stationgo to the train station or airport of City C for waitingthen take a high-speed train or a plane to the train station or airport of City Dtake another vehicle to D Station.

Implementation Example 4, Implementation of National STS or Global STS

[0231] The same manner of Implementation Example 3 is extended by analogy to all parts of the country or the world, constituting National STS or Global STS.

Implementation Example 5, Implementation of Inserting Stations/Stops into Specific Areas and Implementation of P/C

[0232] If Pipe-Tunnel System 11 is extended to E Station in scenic area, tourists from all over the country will get on the Shuttles at his or her doorstop, and get off the Shuttle to reach E Station in scenic area. And if Pipe-Tunnel System 11 is extended to a school campus F Station, students or teachers get on the Shuttles at his or her doorstop, by Identification System 1210 judged to be the school's students or teachers, Shuttle will be directly into the campus, no longer cross the road, and idle people will not be able to enter the campus.

Implementation Example 6, Implementation of the Fire Extinguishing Function

[0233] If the fire sensor at a point senses fire information, it triggers Fire Emergency Response System 3103, which, based on the sensed location, automatically activates the nearest sprinkler fire extinguishing function at that point, and at the same time, which automatically activates the entrance restriction function of the nearest G Station and H Station on both sides of that point, and automatically evacuates all shuttles in the GH section, automatically notifies related personnels to use manual operations of the emergency response plan.

Implementation Example 7, Implementation of Online Parking Function

[0234] During low peak hours or other no temporary demand for Shuttle, Intelligent Central System 2201 automatically arranges online parking in the nearest online parking space for idle Shuttles, and can restart them at any time.

[0235] Implementation Example 8, Implementation of Transport Mode for Passengers from Different Locations in City J to Different Locations in City K (that is, all Weathers, One-Stop Arrival, De-Consolidation Transport)

[0236] Passengers at different locations in City J get on the Shuttles nearby, and their respective Shuttles automatically choose the road conditions and the best road sections to combine into the optimal routes, and One-Stop Arrival to reach their respective destinations (different locations in City K) directly without any stopping in the middle, and not to mention the need to first take a centralized high-speed rail or airplane in City J to City K and then transfer separately to reach their respective destinations. The detailed running process for each person is the same as in Implementation Example 3, where everyone has different starting and ending points and different routes and different departure times, all of which eliminate the need for centralized inbound, timed departures, stopping en route and centralized outbound trips. This example best exemplifies the efficiency, convenience, and freedom of STS.

Implementation Example 9, Implementation of Peak Traffic Capacity Enhancement

[0237] At a Metro transfer station, the average daily morning peak inbound volume in 2019 was 26,200, with 60,700 transfers. After the implementation of STS, all stations/stops have equal advantages, the number of inbound trips is significantly reduced, no transfers are required, and the number of transfers is reduced to 0 people.

[0238] Again, on a major urban roadway, the morning peak hour traffic volume is 19,630 pcu/hour and the evening peak hour traffic volume is 16,457 pcu/hour. After the implementation of STS, the hourly traffic flow is a minimum of 150,000 pcu/hour for a non-major section with 6 lanes in both directions. As can be seen, the regular capacity of the non-major sections of STS is 7.6-9.1 times the peak capacity of the major sections of 2TS.

INDUSTRIAL UTILITY

[0239] The invention herein has a strong industrial utility, which is demonstrated by the following aspects:

[0240] The invention herein solves the traffic problems that is currently a common face and urgent problems worldwide.

[0241] The technologies used in this invention are all current mature technologies and feasible technologies, with fewer components, simpler process, lower cost, resource saving.

[0242] The invention herein solves the dual-carbon problems and energy problems faced by mankind at the same time as it solves the problem of transportation vehicles and Traffic Systems.

[0243] The invention herein can be applied both locally (e.g., a peak section, a district, between two cities, etc.) and/or globally (e.g., a city, a country, etc.). From local to global application, it is only necessary to continuously assemble, extend and nest the standard Pipe-Tunnel System to cover a larger area, forming a larger regional STS, and finally realizing global access.

[0244] The larger the application of the invention, i.e., the more stations/stops, the more pronounced its beneficial effects become. Suppose there are n stations/stops, which have the same significance as the number of lines between two points, growing in a Permutation P (2, n) style.
