The MISTER system consists of 4 main elements:

  • Aerial (3D) infrastructure - columns supporting light guideway structure. Power rails to supply energy to the vehicles (like railway).
  • Small, 1 to 5 person automatic vehicles (Pods), electrically powered from external traction. Deadweight 300 kg, payload 400 kg.

  • Small OFF LINE stops, which therefore do not block any main-line traffic
  • Distributed but integrated computer systems

Benefits of MISTER over other systems

  • Higher throughput (better than buses, light rail/tramways or even metros - for the comparable development cost).
  • No collisions - maximum safety.

  • Individual and direct travel between starting  and destination points - no queuing, no delays and no congestion.

  • Comfortable with climate control, information system and multimedia entertainment.

  • Personal safety - no pickpockets, no attacks
  • 100% accessible at all stops for wheelchairs and mothers with push chairs
  • Major reduction of transit times between start and destination (average speed of 50 km/h).

  • Major reduction of air pollution (small electric motors, no exhausts, no oils or tires).

  • Substantial reduction in energy consumption per payload unit (approx. 10% of bus).

  • Major reduction in cost and time of infrastructure development, even along inner city roads.

  • Major reduction of real estate demands for infrastructure.

  • Anti-terrorist structure, due to “target dispersement”.

  • Anti-flooding characteristic, as it operates 6+ meters above the ground.

  • Reduction in remaining road vehicles congestions, accidents, traffic jam.

  • Logistics transportation, refuse removal in designated Pods - a reduction in the number of trucks delivering/collecting goods within city.
