| We need to borrow the technology that the | | | | hydro craft, ferries, motorcycles, taxi cabs, |
| military uses for the Battlefield 4D | | | | limos and passenger cars move. How the system |
| holographic simulations in the Net-centric | | | | works together with Air, rail, Water and road |
| Warfare Battlespace and transfer this | | | | travel no matter what the type of |
| technology to help the DOT and DHS predict | | | | transportation used. This is like a giant |
| how to keep the distribution systems are | | | | train set you never have to build, can change |
| moving in our Nation in real-time. We need | | | | at will. A holographic display, which can |
| monitor the movement and keep flows moving | | | | zoom in, zoom out, replay, record sessions, |
| under circumstances involving Choke Point | | | | back up. Move to another state, county, city |
| breakages in the Highyway and railway systems | | | | streets, just like a Google Map, but in 3D |
| in case a bridge out, an accident occurs or | | | | and 4D. $D in that you can see subways |
| god forbid we are attacked again by | | | | underneath tunnels and double-decker freeways |
| International Terrorists. Such a tool could | | | | such as in Seattle, SF, San Antonio. You can |
| help people like Secretary of Transportation | | | | see the NY subways, Bart trains under the |
| of the current administration make split | | | | bay, the Baltimore Tunnel, you see, why we |
| second decisions using a complete | | | | need this? And since we have the technology, |
| visualization in real time.Imagine looking | | | | we can run the system to perfection, |
| down at a holographic view of a city, state | | | | increasing our nations productivity, |
| or the whole country at the same time | | | | decreasing traffic jams, enhancing response |
| watching the different types of traffic flows | | | | time to first responders. We can run our a |
| all interacting. Cars, trucks, trains, | | | | Net-Centric Battlefield, not delivering bombs |
| boats, planes and seeing first hand as | | | | to the enemy, but delivering products, |
| traffic jams occur and being able to replay | | | | people, packages, goods and services to the |
| and store that image and run it over and over | | | | masses. Efficiency in the flow of |
| again modifying veriables; Traffic signals, | | | | transportation is a vital part to a healthy |
| times of travel, adding lanes, offramps? We | | | | economy. like Snow the treasury secretary, a |
| have the technology now to eliminate traffic | | | | former Railroad man, might want to have a |
| jams and increase the real world traffic | | | | similar device for money flows and markets |
| bandwidth able to flow thru our | | | | and since he is very valuable to the |
| transportation system.This tool also when | | | | administration than that of merely a treasury |
| used in simulations can predict BMPs for | | | | secretary, he should be given the assignment |
| things like blocking a lane for construction, | | | | of working with the DOT to develop systems to |
| adding a bridge or extra lane based on | | | | streamline the infrastructure, which will |
| modeling by ERSI vendors and Battelle which | | | | lower prices to consumers through |
| is doing projects similar but not 4D in | | | | efficiencies and raise profits for |
| Seattle at their Pacific Northwest | | | | transportation companies which will increase |
| Laboratories.Why this is important is we can | | | | flow and help us with the future inflationary |
| then see how toll ways, off ramps, signals | | | | period by lowering costs through efficiencies |
| and other things impede traffic flow and the | | | | and it also saves fuel and of value to our |
