[Legacy Report] The SPARTAN Superway Solar-Powered Automated Transportation System
The SPARTAN Superway is a long-range research initiative at San Jose State University to establish solar powered automated rapid transit ascendant network (“SPARTAN”) systems for urban environments. Founded in 2012 by Professor Burford “Buff” Furman and Ron Swenson of The International Institute of Sustainable Transportation (INIST), since its inception more than 200 students, mentors, and faculty have done extensive research, published a major study, written numerous publications, produced functional prototypes of key subsystems, and established an international alliance of universities and industry collaborators on the pathway to commercialization.
The evening will consist of a presentation about the Superway project and recent developments and a tour of functional models that demonstrate key aspects of SPARTAN technology.
