Abstract
A conduit segment casting mold system includes at least one inner mold; at least one outer mold configured as at least two outer mold sections of opposed shapes that define a cavity between the at least two outer mold sections that is sized to at least partially enclose the at least one inner mold, each of the at least two outer mold sections including a respective mating surface, each of the at least two outer mold sections including at least one hole sized to receive a cable, and the at least one hole of a particular one of the at least two outer mold sections is aligned with the at least one hole of another particular one of the at least two outer mold sections when the mating surfaces of the particular one and the another particular one of the at least two outer mold sections are mated; and a mold base.
Claims36
A vehicle roadway conduit system, comprising:
- at least one roadway conduit section that comprises:
- a floor portion that comprises a roadway surface configured to receive one or more traveling vehicles,
- a ceiling portion, and
- at least one sidewall portion coupled to the floor portion and the ceiling portion such that the floor, ceiling, and at least one sidewall portions define a roadway conduit volume through which the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles traverse the at least one roadway conduit section;
- at least one roadway conduit ingress that merges with the at least one roadway conduit section and is coupled to a first location of the at least one roadway conduit section;
- at least one roadway conduit egress coupled to a second location of the at least one roadway conduit section;
- and
- a visual display coupled to at least a portion of the at least one roadway conduit section and configured to generate an image viewable by at least one passenger of the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles that traverse the at least one roadway conduit section within the roadway conduit volume.

A method for managing traveling vehicles, comprising:
- receiving one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles at a roadway conduit ingress that merges with, and is coupled to, a first location of roadway conduit section;
- receiving the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles from the roadway conduit ingress into a roadway conduit volume of the at least one roadway conduit section, the roadway conduit section comprising:
- a floor portion that comprises a roadway surface configured to support the one or more traveling vehicles,
- a ceiling portion, and
- at least one sidewall portion coupled to the floor portion and the ceiling portion such that the floor, ceiling, and at least one sidewall portions define the roadway conduit volume through which the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles traverse the at least one roadway conduit section;
- and
- displaying an image to at least one passenger of the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles that traverse the at least one roadway conduit section in the roadway conduit volume on a visual display that is coupled to at least a portion of the at least one roadway conduit section.
4 more elements
A vehicle roadway conduit system, comprising:
- at least one roadway conduit section that comprises:
- a floor portion that comprises a roadway surface configured to receive one or more traveling vehicles,
- a ceiling portion, and
- at least one sidewall portion coupled to the floor portion and the ceiling portion such that the floor, ceiling, and at least one sidewall portions define a roadway conduit volume through which the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles traverse the at least one roadway conduit section;
- at least one roadway conduit ingress coupled to a first location of the at least one roadway conduit section;
- at least one roadway conduit egress coupled to a second location of the at least one roadway conduit section;
- and
- a visual display coupled to at least a portion of the at least one roadway conduit section and configured to generate an image viewable by at least one passenger of the one or more autonomous, traveling vehicles that traverse the at least one roadway conduit section within the roadway conduit volume;
- wherein the visual display comprises a plurality of visual display sections arranged in an array, the plurality of visual display sections being coupled to the at least one sidewall portion and to the ceiling portion.
