How can Autoway help with emergency evacuation?
Hurricane Katrina and Rita revealed two problems with the transportation system: emergency evacuation and oil dependence. In an emergency evacuation, the highway is prone to congestion. In contrast, Autoway is a coordinated transportation system and it will not have the problem of congestion. As a matter of fact, the capacity will be much higher since people are going in the same direction. One lane of Autoway can transfer 20000 to 30000 people per hour. Autoway can be easily changed to one-way traffic to double the capacity. In an emergency, the oil supply is also prone to disruption. Autoway does not have this problem. Of course, in the long run, Autoway will end the oil dependence.
