The control system architecture makes Skyweb Express efficient in layouts as small as a few kilometersor as large as 300 kilometers (see Independent Evaluation on page 7). This control system is a MRM International proprietary software application that monitors, manages, and controls the Skyweb Express network of vehicles and guideway.
MRM International has simulation software (TrakEdit) to allow design and evaluation of a Skyweb Express layout. TrakEdit allows MRM International to design systems with a complex layout utilizing thousands of vehicles and many kilometers of guideway with stations located throughout the system. TrakEdit allows stations to be biased towards having more vehicles arriving or departing and allows unbalanced system loads that might be expected during a morning commute.

The Skyweb Express vehicle is aesthetically pleasing and highly functional. The cabin is comfortable and roomy enough for three adults. The cabin uses guideway power to heat or cool the vehicle. There is also space for luggage, groceries, shopping bags, or other items.

The entrance and available floor space make it completely handicap accessible as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Of course, the cabin can be remodeled as necessary to comply with local or regional standards. The passenger interface contains three action buttons; “Go,” “Next Stop,” and “Emergency.” A passenger pushes the “Go” button after confirming the destination on the internal screen. This causes the door to close and the trip begins. Pushing “Next Stop” programs the vehicle stop at the next station. Passengers might use this because they chose the wrong destination, or perhaps forgot something. Pushing “Emergency” contacts the central control station, allowing the staff
to communicate directly with the passengers to determine the nature of the emergency and the
proper course of action.
The upper screen displays the current route and its progress. The lower screen displays
advertisements or any other information the municipality chooses.

The chassis uses linear induction
motors (LIM). LIM propulsion
offers many advantages over any
other system:
There are fewer moving parts,
meaning less maintenance cost.
The LIMs provide the primary
braking system. This reduces maintenance cost and adds to safety.
LIM propulsion is not impeded by atmospheric conditions such as moisture, dust, and salt.
The LIMs are powered by a continuous electrical source, they do not require recharging.
This means far fewer vehicles are required to achieve high ridership capacity and long
range transport capability. Each of these advantages makes Skyweb Express cost effective, environmentally efficient, and highly adaptive.

Stations range in size from 3-berth stations to 12-berth stations, and can be constructed outside or built into an existing structure. When a passenger arrives at the station, he or she swipes a fare card through the reader, enters the destination code, and then gets into the waiting vehicle. Once inside the vehicle, the passenger confirms the destination on the screen and presses “Go.” The door closes and the control system takes over, sending the passengers non-stop to their destination.
