Abstract

My invention is auto pull technology pulling two opposite lanes of automobiles creating zero emissions and gas costs, described as transportation automation. Its premise is simple, vehicles enter throughway, attach onto magnetic descending device from a coiled retractable wire pulley system (ski apparatus similarity). The car has strapped on opposite polarity magnet through front doors, with the magnet of car top.

Vehicles turns off their engines are pulled along several pulley systems each ending with repelling larger reverse polarity magnets. The final and entry tow pulley system are reduced speed (90 and 80 km), while others at 100km/hr. Vehicles can merge on/off system at will, or at designated location. All last pulley systems have runaway safety zones with large airbags of large rubber band stopping devices and rippled asphalt and tow trucks available for no starts.

Description

r .Auto Car Pull System - descriution The auto car pull system or otherwise known as trsnspartatioa automation or the "carpull express" was created to help redurx gas costs, car emissions, save time, reduce stress, .
reduce car accidents, and most definitely help the environment. The other layproduct is that it can also raise money far provincial or federal governments to help build more roads or even further pnonwte emission treductions. The system, would collect tolls similar to that of the 407 higlxway in the Greater Toronto Area. Each car would have its own personal magnet system attachment licensed only to that driver, and could be Transferred loom one car to aaother. Loch driver would be required to view video footage explaining how the system works, the do's and the don'ts as well as haw to instaD their own personal magnetic device for their vehicle_ 'Each car would also have a Transponder to registerthe usage on the system ~d to collect usage fees.
You enter the system with your vehicle motor running at $0 kml hpur, you connect with the hanging opposite magnet on the first pulley system which rotates at 80 ldlometerslhr, keep Your car r"n~, accelerate between that'/s Idlometer pulley system to the next closely adjacent pulley system running at 90 ialometers an hour, then ante more slight acceleration to It30 IGilometerslhour betvreen the neap pulley system at which point you turn off your engine and the pulley system will do e~ything for you u~il you enter the 3r~' pu'hey gY~e~ You ~rt Yet' Vie, and the slightly use your brakes betaz the last two pulley system and turn your wheel to the right onto the collector lane which allows you to exit off the syst~n at the rate of 80 kilometers an hour (see fig. # 1 drawiz~
for a full visual description). If your motor does not staff, ox you actually have fallen asleep at the wheel you will naturally roll right into the "ruueway safety zone" (see fig.
#I) straight ahead without even touching your wheel. You will be automatically slowed to a full stop by the technology of a Iarge marshmallow liloe air bag a large rubber band system, you stretch out the full suspension ofthe n~bber band system and then released from the iubber band with fully suspended. The 'Yu~way safety zoo" may also have rippled road for slowing help andlor a prescribed tire blow out. These vehicle slowing details and devices would be finalized by engineers and via real scene cxash test dummies experiments to determine the best stopping system.
Tow trucks are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, staffto facilitate immediate tov,~ing practice and quick immediate availability for ally onset of another safety zone car entry. These procedures are all done in real scene crash test dummy sos, with prescribed time lines for tow away times how soon an additional car can be available, ete. For additional safety, perhaps all auto car pull users need to automatically have their car starters replaced every 3 years as a by-Iaw for car pull users.
Wherever there are mediums in. highways, an auto car pulley system can be installed even if an overpass at each end erected, this can accommodate maximum use of the auto car pulley system. For example, the 40 l highway syste;n, in Toronto can accommodate 3 auto car pulley systems, (see fig #2 drawing)_ Engineers would have to ascertain if the system could only allow cars on the system, err cars, pick up truc>~s (1/2 ton 8c 1/4 tons), S~V's and vans. It is certain that no moving trucks and any teuck larger than a ~~S ton canld use the system. Engineers would also have to ascertain the magnet sizes of the car attachments, the hanging down attachments, and the end of each pulley system magnet repelii~g curved flat magnet set up.
Engineers would also have to ascertain the Motor powcc~ of each pulley system, the number of car attachments per pulley system, earact distance betwe~ each pulley system and w$ich power system would work best? Can solar andlar wind power the whale system?
Another important question to be determined in fast ntnt~ing is which method is safest, i.e.
Barriers all the way through with only a few designated on only, exit only spots between pulley systems, or no barriers snywhene and drivers can enter on or off fhe system. as a safe spot allows, just like normal lane changing driving, but one can only turn car engine off once safely attached to auto car pail system.
Attached to the description is a needs analysis, finther describing, the uniqueness of the system, the great need far the system, ali the benefits the system pro~~ides and more. This technology is most definitely the only way to the fuhu~e based on our hugging growing population in urbanized cities, forcing commuting to work an almost impossible task, whexe we alI contirnxe to dangerously destroy our envixonment.
Why n~,ot have one motor system drive our millions of cars, instead of our millions of cars contim:e to drive holes i~xto our solar system? It is also said by transportation analysis experts that on any given highway once you reach more than 2,000 cars per lace, ger hour, than cars by law of natiue with automatically came to a stand still.
This is one car per approximately every 2 seconds. My innovative invention would not only allow cars to travel a maximum speed contitxually, but also e~ppn test running, I
surmise that more almost 4,000 cars could travel per lane per hour with this technology of transpartation automation_ _ _ . _..the new way of the futu3re. This would allow cars to pass every second at 100 kilometers an hour. This invention saves more than just our environt'nent for the future of our childret~ but also allow each wotls~ng family to save as much as $100.00 monthly in gas costs and provides families as much as 40 hours leisure time every month in reduced work travel time, based on traveling to work only 2 hours daily old tine. The bene0ts are huge for all. I give God the praise for providing me this invention that took 3 years to develop. As a fibmmyalgia sufferer, I thank God when parts of your body stop working, other parts are enlightened.

CARPULL- A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR OUR HIGHWAYS
NEEDS ASSESSMENT AND BRIEF OVERVIEW
I'recis Assesses tl~e expediency and potential value of such an automation system entailing enviranmental, energy supply, and public health conti~nger~cies. Comments on the potential market for such a technology.
Environmental destruction has rapidly become one of the leading motivations in transportation technology. The Kyoto accord( and Canada's recent refusal to abide by it in favaux of the conservative government's 'made in Canada ' solution which still appears to be ill-defined) emphasizes the priority given to environmental protection.
Air quality indices have worsened considerably over the past throe decades;
Ontarians own and drive an estimated 7.3 million vehicles( census 2003), over half of.wl~ich are located in urban southern Ontario .The 407 Toll highway experienced a one day record of 413,587 vehicles ( June 30, 2005), on a day when the Toronto AQI was 45.
Rates of airborne contaminants listed for 12 major American urban areas are rising at an alarming rate. Of these, carbon dioxide and monoxide, heavy metals, sulphurs are directly r related to vehicle emissions. Tha World Health organization estimates that up to 3 million worldwide deaths are attributable to air pollution, Asthma rates in Canada have risen drastically, at a massive cost to Medicare. Air quality advisories are very much a part of urban life, with the Weather Channel broadcasting the following disturbing increase in numbers of AQI's in recent years:
2000- three AQI over 3 days 2001- seven over 20 days 2002 nine aver 18 days 2003 five over 12 days 2004 sip over 14 days 2005 I4 over 46 days . As recently as July 21, columnist Royston dames of the 'Toronto Star lamented the gridlock and poor air quality in Toronto, suggesting the alternatives of car pooling and public transit. Air quality globally ( see enclosure) is radically worse than in North American cities, due largely to low or absent emission controls, and surging population rates( over 80'3'0 of the global population is now urban. Shanghai, Mexico city, Delhi, all boast extreme rates of low level ozone and other contaminants with the health detriments that aceompaxty these numbers. All are in the developing world axJd are expected to continue their increase in industry, often unregulated emissions and commuter traffic. It is estimated that in the alert 25 years, irt Canada alone, an additional 2 million vehicles will be in operation with a four fold increase in gridlock in major cities.

Of the estimated 7.3 million vehicles operating in Ontario, millions traveled on the 400 series highways daily irt 2005. Express toll highway 407 accommodated an average of 400,000 vehicles per weekday. Each vehicle emits several toms of exhaust per year . To prevent even a fractfton of these clxernicals from entering our atmosphere will be considered by environmentalists and auto manufacturers as a boon and a positive investment in the future.
A. closely related growing concern for residents of urban centres is the enigma of naise pollution originating forth the vehicles traveling at high speeds on highways.
Sound corridors and protective walls offer citizens limited relief , however homes and businesses situated in proxirx~ity to highways must deal with this issue, on the whole, on their owns. One result of this is of course an overall reduction in land value.
Beyond the expediency of a system which transports people in mass while reducing emissions, North America, and increasingly the world at large, are loathe td part with their automobiles. As far back as National geographic was covering America's love of the car. Mass transits systems are in operation in every urban area in North America, yet they account for only a fraction of the total popularion movement. Commuters will continue to use their vehicles en masse as their nuxtiber one preference for getting around in the city; even sophisticated and efficient transit systems can hope only to reduce the overflow.

Of the three arguments posited here, fuel price must be considered probably the least convincing, yet, at this point in time, the most tangible. In Ontario, gasoline prices have surged over the $L00 mark for nearly one year ( November 2005) and are not expected to significantly decrease. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East is riot stabilizing despite the presence of 'United Nations and Coalition forces. Oil exports from OPEC
members such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia are becoming more jeopardized due to internal and foreign political pressures. Certainly any attempt to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels in North America would be welcomed by both consumers and legislators alike.
A growing inconvenience to commuters, and one which has been seen to cause such cosmopolitan phenomena as the much studied" road rage' is the gridlock caused by the sheer volume of traf~.c. Toronto's traffic congestion is considered such a problem that most radio stations regularly air traffic circulation updates. Other centres , of course, such as Los Angeles and New York, have been dealing with gridlock for decades. An idling car still produces emissions, and delays commuters.
The Ontario government has initiated its 5 year ' Southern Ontario highway program' of $3.4 Billion with an initial investment( June 16 ?006) o~ $1.4 billion, most of which has been allocated to renew and develop existing highway infrastructures. The government also launched the '°Cxreater Toronto Transportation Authority', created by Bill#104-2406 in April 2006 in an attempt to address and solve costs of traffic congestion r~ ~
that currently numbers as much as $2$ Million per day. These costs are expected to soar four fold over the next ZO years. The government also diverts movies to Universities , through Ministry of Transportation. program, who create and develop projects to ameliorate the transportation system. Each project is listed on the Ministry website, and in the last 5 years no funded project contributed substantially to a reduction in emissions or improvement in ~ congestion.
To boot, the Ontario government recently sold the 4fl7ETR to a private firm, in 1999, far $3.1 Billion. Dlustrating their desire to withdraw from the actual management of area highways, There is clearly room the picture for an innovative solution to the above listed problems , and it would appear that at least the Ontario government is finally receptive.
CA.RFULL seeks to redress each issue in a manner that will transform highvcray driving into the future both here and around the world.
As as addendum to the proposed technology, an entire CARpULL apparatus could be as easily poro~ered by non fossil fuel based means such as solar panels or windmills.
TOWARDS A SOLUTION- CARfULL TEOHNpLOGY

The premise behind this technology is in itself quite simple: vehicles enter a thruway, attach onto a magnetic device descending from on overhead wire pulley system similar to a ski lift apparatus, then are pulled along the length of the thruway by tlxe pulley. They are thus able (and would be required) to turn off their engines, put the gear into neutral, manning only the steering wheel (to negotiate curves).The pulley system is not one long pulley but a system of shorter pulleys each of which is connected to the system. Vehicles roll automatically into the subsequent pulley system. At designated points between systems cars may enter and exit via 'on 'and 'off' ramps at which points the magnetic attachment is reversed. Safety barriers ensure that disembarking vehicles do not collide but merge naturally with other traffic. Thus vehicles disembark from the system by attaching onto a reverse polarity magnet and come to a stop at a traffic light facing the particular exit. Drivers subsequently restart the engine prior to the last disembarir, and reattach to each subsequent section. Drivers restart their engines just prior to the designated exit zone between pulley sections so that they can merge safely.
Engine Problems If a vehicle becomes disabled ( no start), or if a driver falls asleep or encounters a medical emergency and is indisposed, the vehicle would be forced to remain on the system until its end '.The final tow pulley systems are rated at a reduced speed( i.e. 80 and b0 IQn) The car will flow into a runaway safety lane( similar to ruxxaway truck lanes on many highways) where safety bunkers, airbags , tow trucks and other safety and mechanical personnel will be available ( possibly at a cost), to assist.
lIence safety risk would be likely reduced to a level as low as or even lower than existing safety levels on the 400 series highways.
