Welcome to PRT Consulting
We are a firm of professional engineers and planners specializing in providing consulting services relevant to personal rapid transit (PRT). Our primary role is assisting our clients in deciding if PRT will meet their needs and then helping them choose and implement the best available PRT system for their application.
Is It Time To Consider Personal Rapid Transit ?
BAA Heathrow
Worldwide interest in modern PRT systems is growing rapidly. Should you also be considering PRT? What
could it do for you? Could PRT meet your surface transportation needs while also solving other intransigent problems?
Or, is PRT not ready or appropriate for your application? How can you choose and implement the best system for
your needs while also minimizing risk? We believe these questions are best answered by a professional consulting
firm that is independent of any PRT vendor or supplier.
Worthy of note
Fort Carson Army Post Workshop
A public workshop held at the Fort Carson Army Post has revealed that visual intrusion of a potential PRT
system is not an issue and that reliability is the most important aspect of a transportation system. The
workshop was intended to ensure that a PRT system (if implemented) would be an acceptable form of
transport likely to be used and to find out if PRT was favorably looked upon or had problems that would
need to be overcome. PRT Consulting recommends this type of workshop be held early in the process of
considering a PRT system if there is any likelihood of objections being raised to any aspect of PRT. The
workshop results provide documentation of public feelings and, if favorable, can be used to show objectors
that they are in the minority, or, if unfavorable, can quickly indicate that the project is a non-starter or that
significant hurdles will have to be overcome.
