Village Technology is a consulting team focusing specifically on pedestrian-mobility solutions in downtown settings. It was founded by architect-urban designer John Alt. Mr. Alt conceived the SMARTram 21 concept while working on a transporation, parking and traffic mitigation master plan for the business district of Annapolis, Maryland in 1996. He subsequently received the first U.S. patent for the “bidirectional synchronization” method in 1997, and spent the next several years developing the logic architecture, vehicle concepts, and urban design applications. Mr. Alt received a third, definitive, patent for the overall SMARTram 21 synchronization architecture in 2006.

Allen Aubert--Planned Solutions, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, joined Village Technology in 2000. Mr. Aubert is a Canadian architect and planner specializing in sustainable community development. He promotes and represents SMARTram 21 throughout the Canadian Provinces.
