People need more faster, comfortable commute 4. Trains dominate on the speedy mass transportation -Think about Toronto without SUBWAY

Average 200mph/320kmh in operation. 360mph max  Japan - MLX1 – Japan 360, China -Shanghai to Pudong Airport 1 hr car trip -> 7 min train trip, USA - AMG-310 mph max  It is a Train with, NO Wheels – So no friction on the road NO Engine – No need to waste energy to move a heavy engine  Train has thousands of electromagnets. That are enough to lift train with passengers  Special rail track with electro magnets. They get electricity and magnetize when train comes close.  The magnets get electrified and magnetized in right time so it repels train all times to move forward. When brakes, lower the magnet power.

Instead it floats on rail track Computerised rail track system switches train to correct track Dynamically routed Very good solution to short distance travelling for small number of people

Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Trains, AGV  TGV - Train à Grande Vitesse ("high-speed train") is France's high-speed rail service  Can go on tracks at 356 mph highest/200 mph average  AGV- Automotrice Grande Vitesse – Alstom Transportation  AGV is 10 % faster than TGV. It travels on Vacuum tube  Remove engine add small motor in each passenger compartment  Change steel compartments carbon fibre glass cabins  Change to Aero-Dynamic shape

8. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Trains, new BULLET TRAIN - Japan Current Trains have to slow on curves around mountains. This drops the average speed  New technology create compartments that slants around curves, like motorcycles  Train keep traveling same high speed around the curve  Use electronically controlled air spring system under compartments to tilt

9. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Trains, BULET TRAIN - Japan  New train will use flaps like cat ears to help brake - Fastec 360  The energy absorbed in breaking is used to provide power other running trains - N700

10. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Trains, AERO TRAIN  Uses Winging Ground effect. Paper float over the ground with effect this method  Used very low energy - solar power can run the train  Safe as the rail track is guided. Loft not fly  High speed as 350 mph

11. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Train tracks FLUFFY TRACKS  Uses synthetic fluff- what we use in pillows to build the track  Fluff mimic the snow and train moves similar to skiing  Could gain aeroplane speeds on ground with very low energy

12. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Train tracks TWO WHEELAR RAILS  No wheels on the train. Rail on the car.  Train runs through O-ring guides with two wheels on it  These wheels powered by motors push the train forward  Use aero space without disturbing streets or underground tunnels

13. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future Trains tracks IST Tracks  Inter state tracks - They cover a large area due to distance.  Install Solar panels on the track and it can provide 1 MW of power per mile  Self sustained train system with green energy

14. © 2015 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco PublicBRKDCT-2049 Let’s talk about Future subways GRAVITY TRAIN  Make tunnel between two sides of the earth drilled close to core  Use earth gravity. No driver. 18000miles/hr theoretical high at the center of earth  42min 12 second to go from one side to other. Longer the distance higher the speed  Issues: 1.Core is enormously hot and liquid to create tunnel. make tunnel on one side 2. Need to make a vacuum tunnel to avoid air friction.
