Getting on the right track with the OU Choose Your Way concept
2:1 Industrial Design proposes laying tracks on existing roadways and creating a novel electric vehicle to help deal with congestion in towns and cities throughout Brazil
Article Summary
Like many other regions of the world, Brazil has a transport congestion problem. Once seen as a city issue, traffic jams have spread to smaller and smaller towns. The designers of the OU concept propose a possible solution where existing roadways have rails installed and drivers of specially kitted-out vehicles can join road trains to flow through otherwise congested areas at a constant pace. The electric OU vehicle's wheels would operate in either an open configuration – for normal driving – or closed, for rail travel.
