1. A multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles transporter system (Autobus), the system comprising:
- multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles;
a roadway segment;
an Autobus enhanced geo-positioning system (AEGPS) handset;
a vehicle transporter comprising vehicle compartments, wherein the multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles include a roadway segment traveling driver occupied passenger vehicle traveling on the roadway segment and a vehicle compartment loaded driver occupied passenger vehicle traveling on the roadway on the vehicle transporter in one of the vehicle compartments;
vehicle transporter terminals each comprising;
terminal sensors;
terminal lane directional aides; and
a terminal dock;
a memory comprising;
location and status information for the multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles and vehicle transporter;
vehicle compartment status information;
terminal sensor information;
Autobus logic operable to;
analyze the terminal sensor information and the vehicle compartment status information;
actuate the terminal lane directional aides and the vehicle compartments based on the location and status information for the multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles, wherein the terminal lane directional aides identify whether the terminal dock is available to enter by the roadway segment traveling driver occupied passenger vehicle and assists the roadway segment traveling driver occupied passenger vehicle to navigate to a location in one of the vehicle transporter terminals including the terminal dock; and
communicate the vehicle compartment status and the location and the status information for the multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles to a transporter driver; and
a processor coupled to the memory, wherein the processor executes the Autobus logic.

Abstract
The multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles transporter system (Autobus) provides a way to efficiently, economically and safely increase the highway vehicle flow rate of cars per lane per hour. Autobus employs a vehicle transporter, terminal, sensors and systems that provide a way to quickly load and unload driver occupied passenger vehicles on and off of the vehicle transporter. Autobus provides a way to safely transport multiple driver occupied passenger vehicles, including cars, sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and light trucks.
