Abstract: Our Mag Lev expandable multilevel system for all uses from city to in-between cities....  Where there are ramps and/or elevators to change levels or enter garages at the same level that has an entrance/ext at that level or go down to the road below to park or enter a garage.   1. Is the overhanging (from above or below the magnetic levitation vehicles) support possibly made of tungsten steel carbide, titanium and magnetic track that it supports (possibly crisscross lattice such as the tall structures of construction cranes -- although traditional concrete with tension cables could be used - we like crane lattices because it allows sunlight to shine on the street and pavement below;    furthermore the crane lattice supports that the Mag Lev vehicle track uses, its back end maybe lodged (space carved or mutually supported) - attached or the side of the building with an encasement of concrete at its base. 2. Concrete blocks or encasement in buried concrete that gives reinforcing support from the lower levels. 3. Additional, expanding supports to upper (tracks) levels that can be wrapped/entwined with steel cables for mutual support furthermore we could make the shape of the supports vertically slide in slots that are vertically height oriented where possibly two of (or more than 2) sides depending on number level slides into each other's male and female holsters.. 4. The magnetic tracks, possibly two going lanes on each side. 5. Support may have to be cut into some surrounding buildings where the buildings are to close to the street leaving no room for the support 6. Direction of that side of the tracks.   We could even build in vertical supports that rise from in-between the roads below, wherever feasible or necessary.   We could build futuristic multiple story/level magnetic levitation tracks for magnetic levitation vehicles could glide to alleviate traffic congestion and increase density, for the most productive use of land and saving urban sprawl from destroying our agricultural and wild life preserve.   There could be traffic functions, such as four way alternation stop, and turning lights...  And intervals along the road are situated fast magnetic elevators (and possibly mixed with actuator or pneumatic or winch elevators). These elevators could be integrated with a far right lane allowing drivers to get into the right lane and exit into the elevator to change stories/levels and then use a far right lane or to merge back into the road.     Changing stories/lanes could also be done with ramps (GP 10%).   Changing stories/levels could also be done via overpass - built between one or more stories/levels (as well as changing direction).   Trucks and buses could use the ground level/ underground and/or the first story/level which's strength could be reinforced the most.     Finally the entire logistics could be controlled via Artificial Intelligence or computer algorithms, so human passengers no longer need to drive they simply instruct the Al/computer of their destination (GPS or track monitoring place/speed of vehicles and where there is access space; where a vehicle is sped up by Al/computer and thus creates space for other cars to speed up behind; where there is a bottleneck the Al/computer could compute if time can be saved by taking an alternate route - perhaps change story/level that has faster traffic.   We could even create multiple lanes (magnetic levitation tracks) highway with multiple stories/levels.     The vehicles could be made of aluminium.   Instead of magnetic levitation we could use the cheaper monorail tracks (GP  10%) of multiple stories/levels and separate vehicles made of aluminium; so the tracks don't need as much reinforcement and therefore needs less space (current monorail tracks are an eyesore and take up so much space for one simple story/floor of tracks).   We could also make vehicles that both function as rubber tire vehicles (for the street on the concrete story/floors below) and switch back and forth to alternative functioned vehicles that use the monorails tracks midway above and/or magnetic levitation tracks higher up (GP 10 %).   We could also create carriers of chains of standardized cargo containers that have a skeleton hooking the cargo containers (made of aluminium skin with carbon fibre cage or fibre glass walls) chain at points along the chain that run along the monorail or magnetic levitation or which can be separate from the trucking streets on the ground and underground floor below, another option is to assign a whole story/level to cargo chains (for delivery between ports and warehouses...).     We are considering Gravity Chain Machine elevators.   Additionally we could magnetize the bumpers surrounding the vehicles to avoid accidents.  Additionally we could magnetize the bumpers surrounding the vehicles to avoid accidents, or add some sort of sensors (we could sell this technology to all car companies) that depending on distance and acceleration and speed of the a car nearing another car (possibly microchips on all four corners of the cars) slams on the brake strategically in a rhythm that maximize wheel to grip time.
