Transit Energy Usehot! 03/01/2007 Hits: 508

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.

The Future of High Capacity PRThot! 03/01/2007 Hits: 679

High-capacity personal rapid transit (Hi-Cap PRT) is a concept that has been evolving for over 50 years.

Notwithstanding attempts to kill it, it has kept emerging because in optimum form it has the potential for contributing significantly to the solution of fundamental problems of modern society including congestion, global warming, dependence on a dwindling supply of cheap oil, and most recently terrorism.

The future of Hi-Cap PRT depends on careful design starting with carefully thought-through criteria for the design of the new system and of its major elements.

Some History of PRT Simulation Programshot! 01/28/2008 Hits: 1297

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

Rules of Engineering Designhot! 03/26/2008 Hits: 158

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,"
