The Concept 

RailPodTMInc. is revolutionizing rail transportation. A modern mass transit system must not only reduce traffic congestion and promote conservation, but must be efficient, affordable, and accessible. An efficient means of travel is critical to the development and success of towns, cities, and countries. RailPod Inc. provides an innovative transportation solution and offers much more!

RailPodTM vehicles travel on the existing railroad infrastructure. What does this mean? RailPodTM vehicles carry people (two per vehicle), freight, or cargo traveling on one of the two rails of an existing railroad track. They turn a unidirectional railroad track into a bi-directional track for RailPodTM vehicles, providing automated, on-demand transportation services. RailPodTM  vehicles operate on existing railroad tracks, just at different times than conventional trains.

RailPodTM Vehicles Are...
  • Driver-less, efficient, and safe
  • Automated and operate on-demand - transporting people, packages, and freight
  • Environmentally friendly and electrically driven
  • Efficient! They provide bi-directional service over an existing unidirectional railroad track

RailPodTM vehicles are fun and easy to use! Entrance to the vehicle is permitted via an access card. When you arrive at a station, swipe your access card, enter your destination on an interactive touch-screen similar to an ATM, sit down, and enjoy the ride! You will be transported, non-stop, to your destination.

The RailPod System can be used in any area where railroad track exists, including but not limited to passenger transit, freight, package delivery, tourism, mining and maintenance-of-way.  Infrastructure costs are a large barrier to any new transit system, but not to RailPod!  As your RailPod needs expand beyond existing infrastructure areas, a new track can be installed to service other areas that do not have existing infrastructure.  Contact us with your application need!

Our team has experience in transportation, automation, communications, programming, and management. Currently, we are building a full scale prototype, and we hope that the next time you visit our site you'll see us traveling along a railroad track in a RailPodTM vehicle!
