Introduction

Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) is a superior alternative for modern urban mobility. It offers many interconnected stations and enables all trips to be nonstop or express. The system provides good capacity while maintaining low operational costs and exceptional safety. PRT delivers personalized, on-demand service using proven technology. Its network-based design allows easy scalability, ensuring efficient expansion as demand grows. The result is a highly beneficial transport system for cities. PRT improves local mobility, strengthens connectivity with rail networks, supports economic growth and provides significant environmental and community advantages.

Greenvac Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) System is a cutting-edge, autonomous, eco-friendly, on-demand, sleek, modern and visually striking mobility solution, supported by Electric Vehicle (EV) technology, marking a historic milestone in smart transportation, sustainable development and advanced industrial innovation to ensure world-class technology integration. Greenvac’s technical expertise, advanced system architecture, engineering support and implementation guidance for the PRT creates an attractive addition to any urban environment. It provides a fast, seamless and intuitive experience for users. Every ride is designed to be smooth and efficient, ensuring minimal wait times and maximum convenience.

Safety and Reliability are core strengths of the system as it delivers secure, comfortable travel with dependable performance suitable for everyday use. Greenvac PRT integrates easily into existing cities as Its compact design allows effortless installation without major disruption to current infrastructure. Built as a modular system, it can expand as demand grows.

Personal Rapid Transport (PRT) uses small 4–6 passenger electric vehicles running on dedicated, grade-separated guideways typically elevated, but also possible on ground or underground. The guideways never intersect at the same level, ensuring safe, uninterrupted operations. On-board switching allows close vehicle spacing enabling high line capacity. The system is fully electric, energy-efficient and compatible with renewable energy sources.

Stations are offline, allowing nonstop or bypass (express) travel. Compact stations near key commercial, residential and institutional areas ensure easy access and multi modal integration.

Sustainability Delivered, One Journey at a Time

Greenvac PRT is engineered with built-in reliability and safety to ensure maximum comfort and security for passengers. Unlike conventional public transit where passengers must gather in groups, wait for scheduled large vehicles and travel along fixed routes with multiple stops. Greenvac PRT offers a seamless personal travel experience. Passengers enjoy near zero waiting time and non-stop journeys directly to their chosen destinations.

No Waiting, No Stops, No Congestion & Just Go.

From a passenger’s perspective, the system is simple, intuitive and effortless. An App or Kiosk at stations, allows users to select their destination. Once on board, passengers can sit back and relax as the vehicle travels directly and non-stop to their chosen destination.

Greenvac PRT has a light weight and flexible design allows it to be easily integrated into a wide range of settings while delivering environmentally friendly and operationally efficient transport.

Greenvac PRT is built using proven, off-the-shelf technologies primarily from the automotive industry ensuring high reliability, maturity and robust performance. It delivers security and convenience by offering each passenger exclusive use of their own vehicle throughout the journey. Every pod is equipped with CCTV monitoring and a dedicated control team is available at the touch of a help button. Fully compliant with disability standards and designed for universal access, making it ideal for wheelchairs, prams, bicycles and other personal belongings.

 

The components of a PRT system

Pods:

  • Small, fully automated, battery-powered electric vehicles with zero on-site emissions.
  • Designed for quiet, efficient, and eco-friendly operation.

Infrastructure:

  • Light weight, small foot print guideways and compact stations that are cost-effective and easy to install.
  • Flexible routing allows integration wherever transportation is needed.

Control System:

  • Complete movements of pods, sequencing, track identification, route identification and all safety checks are done automatically through the main control software.

Solving Congestion, Pollution & Immobility Problems

System Operations

Smart Ticketing & Ridesharing

  • Ticketing app and station kiosks lets passengers select destination, service level and view wait time.
  • Fares based on distance, passenger count and service type (Sharing or Dedicated POD).
  • Ride sharing automatically uses multiple algorithms to group passengers efficiently with minimal extra stops.
  • Sharing riders share with other passengers going the same way; dedicated POD riders travel nonstop exclusively .
  • Integrates with local transit networks for smooth transfers.

Vehicle Operations

  • Automated control system manages all station-to-station movements.
  • Dynamic moving-block safety system maintains safe spacing by adjusting separation distance with speed.
  • Merge controller coordinates vehicles to avoid congestion and maintain flow.
  • Control system issues only timing commands; vehicles are steered by the guideway itself.

Passenger Flow

  • App or Kiosk guides passengers to boarding bays when vehicles arrive.
  • QR-based access on the POD after offloading is complete.
  • Ride share vehicles may already carry passengers heading along the same route.
  • High average occupancy (6-seat vehicle) keeps fares economical.
  • Small foot print guideway & infrastructure advantages
  • Suspended design enables compact, elegant guideways suitable for narrow streets.
  • Stations can be placed over sidewalks, medians or roadways.
  • Design focuses on modern, attractive aesthetics.

Greenvac proposed system will provide a greatly improved customer transit experience.
