This paper proposes a new system of roads and railways that effectively combines the inherent advantages of car and train. The system also takes advantage of high quality roadway with few curves and slopes and can be used under any weather conditions. In this system, it will be possible to provide electricity to trains and hybrid-trucks running on solar batteries, creating a sustainable system. Both the mobility of diesel engine truck and traffic flow will improve dramatically. This system can make trucks run underground in the center of Tokyo, a long tunnel, or an undersea tunnel, and could passively revolutionize the transportation systems. This system should be the first model to be supported financially by the government, because automatic driving and convoy run will be easier. This system could possibly also improve the economic situation of railroad companies.
