The document discusses 21st century transportation challenges and proposes a solution called Mobility XS. Mobility XS is an intelligent transportation system that uses innovative applications of communication and location technologies to transform transportation, land use, and energy planning. It provides personalized mobility services using a fleet of electric vehicles and public transportation to create a more sustainable transportation network. The system aims to improve accessibility, reduce emissions and noise pollution, and stimulate economic recovery through a new approach to transportation.
1. Innovation for Transportation Systems
Snapshots of A High Quality Mobility Services
for 21st Century Realities
TEN Systems
2. What are 21st Century realities?
Inhabited areas around the world are coming to terms with
limits to resources– land, water, power, air quality, healthy
food supply, oil and minerals etc.
The challenge is to create smart and lean lifestyle choices
while maintaining an ever higher quality of life.
This presents enormous challenges for transport and land
use planning and demands higher level solutions…
…higher than the level at which these problems were created.
Mobility XS Model is a response to this
outstanding need.
3. “No problem can be solved from
the same level of consciousness
that created it.”
~ Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
Physicist & Nobel Laureate
Circa 2009: Car companies cannot become profitable again by selling
more cars. The belief that more people need to buy more varieties of
cars more often, created loss making car companies.
What’s the next level?

6. Mobility XS – City@Home
A – Safety and non – severance B – Significantly improved
due to Speed Limits and restraint accessibility for daily activities and
on heavy vehicle movement to transit stations for longer trips
You are presently here
C – No Noise Pollution or
Vehicular emission, No dust
and other toxic emissions
D – Better ambient greenery and
water bodies moderate
temperatures to comfortable levels
22
7. Mobility XS – City@Home
E – Greater social interaction F – Seamless movement for
with walkers and cyclists walking and cycling across
passing by at low speeds neighborhoods.
G – Neighborhood roads can be made
You are presently here of alternate, re-cycled materials well
suited for carrying lighter vehicles.
This is a far more cost effective option
in face of steep rise in bitumen and
overall road construction costs.
H – Road width requirement is
minimized, which allows for
greater green cover, children play
areas, public parks and for ground
water recharging.

8. Mobility XS – City@Home
I – Quality of roads is better due to use of J – Use of suitable materials can also
suitable materials as well as low wear and minimize localized heat generation as
tear as only light vehicles are allowed. well as allow better passage for rain
water
You are presently here
K – Flexible solar sheet covers on the
length and width of neighborhood
roads provide shade and cooling for
passerby as well as are used for
charging electric vehicles.

9. Mobility XS – “Think Rail, Use Roads" I
Create Road-based System in complement to Metro
Rail Network
Metro Stations = Mobility XS stations
Coaches = High occupancy, Plug-in Electric Hybrid
vehicles (150km/litre)
Dedicated corridor = Pre-ordained routes, Semi-
automatic guided vehicles, Demand-driven carriage
capacity and quality
10. Mobility XS– “Think Rail, Use Roads” II
Expands mass transit network at a lower cost particularly for
areas where passenger density is not high
Creates door-to-door reach by seamless integration of feeder
service and with other modes
Similar in many ways, it is a leapfrog advancement over
conventional Bus Rapid Transit Systems in terms of
attractiveness and affordability
11. Mission Mobility XS
Demand-responsive Service :
Uses a Fleet of Eco-friendly Vehicle (EV) for Feeder Trips (<3kms.) for
Bus/MRT/ Carpool and for Short Trips (<8 kms.)
Develop a network of EV Stations at 0.5-1 km distance around the city.
EV-friendly routes connect inner residential areas to arterial
routes (with congestion/emission charging for space-inefficient,
polluting vehicles )and encourage more and more people to
“avoid” cars for short trips/ single-driven/low occupancy trips.
It facilitates “attractive” bus service, metro rail service as well as
highly attractive personalized car sharing/pooling service.
14. Mobility XS – Short Trips
Every Area has
infrastructure for bicycle
servicing, electric vehicle
Urban/Rural Area charging, CNG vehicle
fueling and parking bays.
Elevated Cross-over create
seamless traffic conditions
on express roads and a
region-wide grid of
connected walking and
cycling tracks.
15. Mobility XS Stations
Basement EV Parking
High-density Bike Parking
Multi-level EV Robotic Parking
High-rise EV Parking
Arterial Road-side EV Parking

28. Planning for High Capacity Transit System
Define Catchment Area
Access Control/ Congestion Charging Zone of 3 km corridor on either side
Access preference to Light Eco-friendly Vehicles
Access time between 5-15 minutes
Revenue potential from higher commercial value of surrounding areas as it enables
greater footfalls
Seamless integration of feeder service enables optimal spacing of Metro Stations to
~2 kms.
Enables passenger carrying capacity to be increased by 200% - at the same time
allowing more trips per hour over conventional planned systems.
Reduces travel time
Increases frequency of service and enables better handling of peak hour traffic
Shifts short distance travel from Metro to NVs
Provision of high capacity bicycle rack facility and service bay for pick up and drop of
passengers in the station area
Improves accessibility for larger number of people
29. Risks & Mitigation
Policy Risk: Scramble or Blueprint?
Scramble is a scenario, where each country looks after their self-interest
and try to optimize within their own boundaries.
In Blueprint, each country looks after their self-interest but they try to
optimize globally, in step with the real boundaries of the problem.
1. Build a powerful Mobility XS alliance as a WIN-WIN with auto,
Mitigation
telecom, energy, IT companies to synchronize the Mobility XS
cycle to the electoral cycles
2. Marketing programs aimed at creating aspirations and loyalty
for the Mobility XS brand as an integral part of the Blueprint
Scenario.
Competitive Risk: Existing Players and New Players
1. Existing players offer products and services designed for the
“troubled” legacy systems. Further, they provide one or a few of
Mitigation
the components of an integrated Intelligent Transport System.
2. New Players: TEN Systems has a head start over prospective
competitors who can match the ingenuity of the Mobility XS
design, due to its partly tacit and experiential nature.
