All components of the Complex are proprietary developments by Unitsky String Technologies Inc. The system features a lightweight, high-strength string rail overpass, unmanned steel-wheeled electric vehicles, automated control systems, and supporting infrastructure. The automated control system uses technical vision to monitor the track and route, enabling real-time response to obstacles. It ensures safe, comfortable passenger travel and reliable cargo transport.
Control system (CS) of Kathmandu Podway Complex
All components of the Kathmandu Podway Transport & Infrastructure Complex are proprietary innovations developed specifically for the project. Its key elements include a structurally lightweight yet durable string rail overpass, autonomous steel-wheeled electric pods, an intelligent automated control system, dedicated stations, and supporting infrastructure. The control system is fully automated, equipped with advanced technical vision to continuously monitor the track and route. It enables real-time responses to obstacles and potential threats, ensuring safe and comfortable passenger travel, as well as efficient and reliable cargo transportation throughout the network.
Central control system (CCS)
It is designed to control the vehicles of the transport complex (TC) and automated infrastructure facilities, and generate a traffic schedule based on the status of all vehicles of all systems in the transport complex to ensure safe and comfortable transportation of passengers
Onboard control system (OCS)
It is designed to control subsystems of the vehicle for the sake of safe and comfortable execution of the traffic schedule
Automated infrastructure facilities and supplementary systems that ensure operation of the vehicle
It is designed to control subsystems of the vehicle for the sake of safe and comfortable execution of the traffic schedule
The system receives, processes and analyzes information thanks to various target-specific sensors and fully controls the route and speed of uPods
It independently makes decisions to reduce speed or stop in case of detecting an obstacle or any potential danger on the route. Real-time data exchange with the components of the transport and infrastructure complex is possible, as well as reception of signals from other vehicles
By integrating these features, Kathmandu Podway fully satisfies the demands of modern intercity passenger transport systems.

Podway is an innovative, elevated transport system based on string rail technology developed by Unitsky String Technologies (UST). It consists of automated, driverless pods that travel on specially designed suspended tracks above ground, offering a sustainable, safe, and efficient alternative to traditional urban and intercity transportation.
Unlike conventional systems, Podway:
Reduces land use and environmental impact
Minimizes traffic congestion
Operates with high energy efficiency
Is scalable for both low-density and high-capacity routes
The system is ideal for modern smart cities, tourism zones, mountainous regions, and areas where conventional transport faces infrastructure challenges.
