AutoBOTS Cheapest Cost Advantage @ ~25 Cr / Km Bi-directional System@3600 pphpd throughput
Advantage of PRT (Personal Rapid Transit)Vs other Mobility Systems?
• Life Cycle Cost & Energy efficiency of PRT systems is Equivalent to Metro System with Best Last mile connectivity
• Lowest carbon footprint for moving a commuter in cities compared to any other mobility solution
• Elevated System - no additional right-of-way required.• GOI fuel / energy import bill savings• Mitigate city pollution by offering commuters automobile
like features – availability, comfort, last mile access• Release space on the road right-of-way for use by Bus
based public transport, cycles, pedestrians – largely used by the bottom of the pyramid population.
Lifecycle SustainabilityLimited Capital Limited Energy
National Transport Development Policy Committee 2014
• Urban transport assessments and projections - without considering the future realm of technologies
• Proposes taxes on growing YOY number of vehicles as means of financing future sustainable transport -logically fallacious reasoning NO reduction in congestiono ~1.5X the number of current vehicles on city roads with fixed
road right-of-way by 2035o ~3.5X the number of current vehicles being parked in the city
by 2035

Problem Breakdown
~ 80 Kg human load from Point A to Point B?
Urban Group Size ~1.1 persons
By 2035 > 50% Population in Urban Area
No more ROW to expand
Limited Energy
How About giving it a makeover?
When the e-bike can take you as far as a car at an acceptable speed and extremely low cost to energy…
Add a shelter for weather protection
Run them on an elevated track
No Room to expand on master plan defined ROW
Non-stop from Origin to Destination
Using Station Bypasses
Along existing road network
Routed to Destination Automatically
Like an Email packet! Using complex computer controlled algorithms and location sensors.
With ~50m headway
50m
@ 45kmph
Giving the same capacity as 3 lanes of cars @ 10kmphwith a 5m headway in City Traffic
With Solar Panels alongthe track – 0.8 m wide
Energy needed from the Grid can be reduced by ~57%- for a Full Air Conditioned Operation Energy Cost for moving 1 passenger 1 Km therefore reduces to ~80% of the e-cycle itself.
All these features combine to give us a travel option which is

Why India / Govt. should promote Indigenous PRT System?
• Indian Promotors, Indian Company• Switch Design - Critical System Subcomponent
Applied for Patent Indian IP• Design & Specs by Indian Company TRL4 ready for TDS• No New R&D Risk Only assembly of components and system
integration.
• No Competing Indigenous Effort as yet• Fully ‘Made in India’ System competition to Foreign vendors• India biggest potential consumer Save foreign exchange.• Global Export Potential Boost Export
Boost to Indigenous Industries –Manufacturing & Services
• Information Technology• Special Purpose Machines - Motors, Sensors, Controllers• Electrical Power Management, Power Invertors &
Convertors – AC / DC• Electronic Components• Steel Fabrication & Manufacturing• Solar Power Plants
What has been Realised….
Next Step Requirements: TRL 4-7• Funds for Technology Demonstration Programme
@ NIT Delhi Campus
o 16 Crores for 2 Stages of Technology Demonstration
o 34 Crores for Full Demonstration System
• Participation of Government Observers – MoRTH, MoUD
& Relevant Stakeholders
Investor Value Proposition
• Cost of Readiness to TRL 7 ~ 10 M USD
• ~ 1 / 3 of Cost of Readiness of Competitor at 2005 Values
• Competitor Valued at 60 M USD in 2005 at TRL 7
• ~ 1/10 Investment required vis-à-vis contemporaries.
• Uber – On demand Taxi Service valued at + 10 Bil USD
in 2014
