The Roadgrid System is a world-state traffic system used to create orderly groundcraft and gravcraft flow on advanced, high technology worlds.
- It is a set of software and hardware, typically run by a City Mind.
- It is a type of processor utilizing electronics.
- It is also commonly known as a Traffic Net.
- It is an element of a world's infrastructure.
Description (Specifications)
The remote vehicle operating system on Sylea is called Roadgrid, but similar concepts may occur on other worlds. Computer controlled remote vehicle operation is possible at late TL:4-6, sophisticated enough to be used at TL:7-9, and practical on a large scale at TL:10-12. The basic equipment interfaces with most vehicle control systems if installed during manufacture, though retrofitting existing vehicles is difficult. It allows a central traffic computer to monitor all vehicle vital signs, navigate the vehicle, and communicate with the crew or passengers. All the passenger has to do is request a destination, and the computer will do the rest.
History & Background (Dossier)
By TL:10-12, Sylean Road grid technology is extremely reliable, to the point where parents will trust children on unaccompanied trips, and business people can call their empty cars to pick them up at a pre-determined time and place. Normal road grid maintenance is handled by a distance surcharge of about Cr1 per 10 kilometers of travel.
Expected Traffic Net Development Sequence
MACRO LEVEL: TL:1-9:
MACRO LEVEL: TL:10-18
Foundational Age Societies
The first trains generally run on rails, tracks, roads, or prepared transit ways.
| Technological Period: TL:1-9 and Tech-Name: Ur-Tech | ||
|---|---|---|
| Common Characteristics: TBD, etc. | ||
| Tech Epoch | TL-Range | Remarks |
| Tool Making Epoch | TL:1-3 | TBD |
| Division of Labor Epoch | TL:4-6 | TBD |

Interstellar Age Societies
Gravitic trains have little to no need for preprepared infrastructure.
