This set of rules are regarded by Dr Anderson as the most fundamental in the search he has conducted
for a truly optimum PRT design. It came out of many years of design
practice, research, and teaching. When PRT projects have gone sour Dr Anderson has found that the root cause has been violation of one or more of
these rules. The contents of this paper is included in Dr Anderson's key paper "The
Future of HCPRT,"
Full CV for Dr JE Anderson
This paper compares the
middle two options among the spectrum listed above. Alternative #3 will be referred to hereinafter as "Single Mode"
or SM. Alternative #4 is called "Dual Mode"
or DM. DM has the advantage over SM for auto drivers that the
same vehicle may be taken for any trip, just as occurs now with one's own
automobile. In many respects, DM is
much like the system envisioned by advocates of alternative #5, an Intelligent
Vehicle Highway System, except that special narrower guideways could be used
for the automated guideway portion of the trip.
This paper documents 32 vehicle simulation programs that have been developed since 1969 to simulate the operation of automated vehicles operating in net-works of guideway under a variety of strategies
