... manufacturing ¹

Just in time production means that a supplier produces a subcomponent of a product short before it is needed for the assembly of the final product. In such a way, expensive storage can be reduced. The more efficient and reliable the transport system between supplier and the assembly the fewer storage is required.

... user-services ⁴

The MAIT card has some similarities to a bank card. If desired, the functions that are necessary to communicate with the MAIT system can be integrated with other services on one card.

The vehicle weight depends considerably on the weight of the carrier. The cabin alone weights approximately 200kg plus a maximum charge of 500kg

... engines⁸

Modern electric motors convert electrical to mechanical energy with an efficiency of more than 90%. The electrical energy in power plants is generated with an efficiency of approximately 35% for oil and coal, and 42% for gas as primary energy resource. Therefore the total efficiency of electric motors is at least 30% which is higher than the efficiency of any available fuel engine today (using oil as primary energy resource). If the cooling system of the power plant were used to heat buildings or water, their efficiency could rise up to %95 as it is the case for the power plant in Vienna. Moreover, the emission filter systems of power plants retain usually a higher portion of toxic ingredients than the one of automobiles which results in a lower air pollution

Note that unidirectional MAIT guideways have a width of only 1.50m and are comparable in size to larger pedestrian walkways or ``sky-ways''.
