In this paper, Dr Ed Anderson gives a complete and concise view of the rationale of PRT, its history, current status, and potential. This is a robust technical explanation complete with the data and arguments needed to help planners and engineers get a full understanding.
A comparison of the energy use per passenger-mile of eight modes of urban transportation is made in terms of eleven variables, resulting in conclusions about the direction transit system design should take to provide adequate transportation with minimum energy use. The method can easily be programmed on a personal computer to be used to study the effects of parameter variations on energy use.
Dr Anderson provides answers to frequently asked questions at Branson Missouri and other cities.
