Dr. J. Edward (Ed) Anderson, PhD from M. I. T., began working on PRT while at the University of Minnesota. During the 1970s he chaired three international conferences on PRT, which gave him access to the work on PRT in 8 industrialized countries. He consulted with governments and private industry and in 1978 published the textbook Transit Systems Theory. In 1983 he founded Taxi 2000 Corporation to commercialize his PRT design, and in 1986 moved to Boston University where he recruited a team of engineers from industry and government that led to a $1.5 million PRT design study sponsored by the Chicago Regional Transportation Authority, the work on which authenticated his designs.
