Paradigm Shift in Transportation: JPods networks are circulatory systems for cities; a Physical-Internet moving people and cargo at 10 times the efficiency of oil-powered transportation. Passion: On-demand personal mobility. Mobility is an aspect of liberty. Objective: Sustainable transportation. Problem: Moving a ton to move a person at watt-hours per passenger-mile (bus, car, planes and train). Solution: Move only the person at 130 watt-hours per passenger-mile (JPods, CargoPods, TrashPods). Profits: Convert 85% of energy costs to profit and jobs. Metrics: Profit per passenger mile (value-added), Watt-hours per passenger mile (efficiency), Travel time per mile (convenience). Power source: Solar collectors 2-meters wide mounted over the rails gather to vehicle miles of power per mile of rail per day. The distributed nature of the transportation network can be used to harvest distributed power sources.
