| Description | To achieve safe and
reliable operation at small headways in an optimized PRT system, it is
necessary to perform careful failure modes and effects analysis and to follow
the recommendations thereby discovered.
A major recommendation is that the on-board and wayside computers be
dual redundant. In this paper, possible
failure modes are analyzed, the mean times between major failures including
collisions are estimated, and a series of recommended design features is
given. An important conclusion is that,
by use of the features recommended, the distance traveled in PRT between
incidents that may lead to collisions will be about 10 trillion times longer
that in the U. S. automobile system
