| Egress flow absorbers | 4/6 |

| Egress rails can be connected to facilities
which are able to absorb large quantities of rufs during peak hour. Parking facilities (automatic) can be used to prevent rufs from entering street level. Another interesting possibility is on-line supermarkets. Since rufs are electric, they can drive directly into the supermarket without pollution problems. Drive-in shopping will be possible. |

| In order to handle drivers who have fallen asleep during the automated trip, it will be necessary to have facilities for automatic temporary parking of these vehicles until they are ready to continue. In order to ensure short recirculation time, a fee will be charged for those who use this backup facility. It could also act as a buffer zone at the egress point. |
