10.8Debris Field:

A (relevant), debris field pertaining to a surface vehicle is an area where matter may be located such as fixed solid objects, blowing or floating objects, dust, pedestrians, water, birds, animals, detached vehicle parts and other vehicles moving at slower speeds, within the plane of travel. The Intelligent Highway System, for example, could not overcome the problems associated with operation in the typical debris field found at surface level along roadways and highways as one vehicle’s collision with debris might result in a domino effect or more significant collision between the first car and any number of vehicles following in close proximity. In order to avoid the effects of a typical surface debris field, the Hybrid PT System will be built on a series of structures well above (minimally 18 feet), a typical roadway surface. Hydroplaning, a potentially deadly hazzard, is fully eliminated as a Grid System hazzard.
