When people get into their automobiles, they expect to be able to get to their destination conveniently and without wasting any time. However, as more and more vehicles are being placed on the roads, that concept is becoming less of a reality. Traffic congestion increasingly is becoming the predominant concern among municipal leaders. Some leaders have postponed gridlock (and inadvertently added to air pollution) by paving more roads. Unfortunately, there comes a point at which roads diminish in their ability to alleviate congestion. Other solutions must be sought.

Owen Transit Group, Inc. is an engineering firm offering a technological tool to provide some relief to the issue of gridlock... the HighRoad Rapid Transit System. Uniquely using each side of a single beam, the patented HighRoad system allows high-speed transport of passengers simultaneously in two directions. The HighRail system provides a similar method of moving freight either using a dedicated guideway beam or by using the commuter beam during non-peak hours. For metropolitan areas wishing to provide a predictable high-speed commuter connection, the OTG Silver Bullet is designed to convey passengers at speeds of up to 200 mph. All three of these systems are designed to function along the same key feature of the system... the patented guideway beam. This allows full standardized access among system routes and types. Switching is a reality with this and other monorail systems. Those still clinging to The Switch Myth as an excuse for staying with antiquated technology would do well to read the linked essay.
