The technical basis of the physical vehicle is the PRC (Personal Rapid Chair) transportation mode. The key technology of the PRC transportation mode is the physical vehicle proposed in the Chinese invention patent "An Autonomous Steering Suspension Monorail" Technical solutions.
The physical loading system is mainly composed of a suspended track network, a suspended track switch, a suspended track traveling mechanism, a PRC vehicle operation control mechanism, a suspended carriage (or chair), etc. The PRC track running wheel is integrated with the rotary drive motor. The motor is installed inside the track running wheel and is powered by battery. It can also be driven by wind or solar energy. The suspended track section is I-shaped and the turnout is I-shaped. The suspended rail network of the PRC transportation system connects each departure station with the destination station. The suspended rail network has branch lines for parking and the loading and unloading of people and goods. PRC vehicles do not require human control when traveling on the track and merging from the branch line to the main line or entering the branch line from the main line. When the PRC vehicle passes through the track switch with a branch line suspension, the on-board operation control mechanism automatically selects the destination branch line according to the purpose requirements. The entire journey of the PRC vehicle The driving is automatic and the optimal driving route is automatically selected on the track network.
The physical download system is based on the characteristics of the PRC vehicle's traveling mechanism that it travels fully automatically and without interference. It allows a user to control one or more vehicles through a wireless communication device (such as a mobile phone or a computer terminal connected to a wireless network). PRC vehicles distributed in different locations implement remote takeover control. Given the destination or delivery task of the PRC vehicle, the PRC vehicle autonomously selects a driving route and turns autonomously at the turnout to realize automatic transportation of goods or personnel. The PRC traveling mechanism and the carriage (mailbox) are connected through a standard interface. An automatic hooking device is installed under the PRC traveling mechanism, and a corresponding hooking device is provided on the top or side of the PRC carriage (mailbox) to realize the automatic hooking device of the carriage (mailbox). Combined with or detached from the automatic hooking device provided at the bottom of the PRC traveling mechanism; the PRC traveling mechanism runs to the top of the carriage (mailbox) according to the instructions, hangs the carriage (mailbox), transports the carriage (mailbox) to the destination (mailbox loading and unloading platform), and unloads the carriage ( mailbox) to realize automatic transportation of items or people. The shape of the mailbox can be large or small within the specified size range. Set up mailbox loading and unloading stations in consumer places such as residences and office buildings for PRC traveling mechanisms to load and unload mailboxes. Set up mailbox loading stations at production sites (farms, printing plants, food factories, computer factories, clothing factories, pharmaceutical factories, etc.) for PRC traveling mechanisms to upload. Item selected by user. Children going to school and elderly people going to and from the hospital can also be automatically completed in this way. Family members can connect to the PRC vehicle video device through any terminal to take care of the entire process remotely, avoiding detours and unnecessary round trips, reducing urban traffic, and freeing up the family's main labor force. Free yourself from the time-consuming and congested driving labor.
The automatic direct logistics model based on the physical logistics system will reduce many logistics intermediate links, improve logistics efficiency, reduce logistics costs, make supply and demand more closely linked, and change the existing business model and product manufacturing model. . Many shopping malls and stores will be eliminated and replaced by upload and download stations. The traditional "factory production and distribution-store classification and shelf-go-purchase-return" will become a simple mouse click "download". Maybe one day people will download their favorite breakfast, lunch or dinner from different restaurants dozens of miles away like downloading emails in the office or residence to the mailbox loading dock (balcony) of the office or residence, or transfer themselves from Office download to residence. The product manufacturing model will change to "product design - global ordering and downloading of components - product assembly - product testing - product application." Product development that is now completed by thousands of people in large enterprises may be completed by only a few people in the future.
