Fundamentals of Personal Rapid Transit by Jack H. Irving Pdf

This book summarizes the work on Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) carried out at the Aerospace Corporation from 1968 to 1976. It is intended as a reference for experts and a text for students of transportation engineering. Emphasis is on describing concepts rather than engineering details. PRT is an automated taxicab system, a public transit system of 3- to 6-passenger vehicles operating automatically on a network exclusive guideways separate from street and pedestrian traffic. The book reports on both theoretical studies about economics, networks, traffic management, vehicle propulsion and control and also on experiments testing concepts of propulsion and control.

The Transportation Renaissance by Edmund W. F. Rydell Pdf

The full story of Personal Rapid Transit, a driverless, computer-controlled system of public transportation, has never before been told. Parts of this story have been told over and over again in countless meetings with government authorities at all levels and to many potential investors. It has been described in several technical books devoted to the subject, in hundreds of technical papers, and in the published proceedings of the International Conferences on PRT which have been held, usually at the major universities. But none of these sources tell the whole story. This is the first book to do so, and in a style that is enlightening, entertaining, and at times quite humorous. Despite his lighthearted fashion, the author shows how time and again the cause of PRT has been set back, sometimes unwittingly, by governmental and other forces, sometimes, but not always, acting in the perceived best interest of the public. Yet the proponents of PRT have managed to struggle on. PRT today is more thoroughly engineered prior to its commercialization than any other form of transportation in history. We stand today on the threshold of its realization. It is just a question of time until many of the cities of the world will have this revolutionary form of transportation.

Personal Rapid Transit by Fouad Sabry Pdf

What Is Personal Rapid Transit Personal rapid transit (PRT), also known as podcars or guided/railed taxis, is a form of public transportation that utilizes small automated vehicles and operates them on a network of specially built guideways. Other names for this type of transportation include personal rapid transit (PRT) and guided/railed taxis. Automated guideway transit (AGT) is a kind of system that also comprises bigger vehicles and extends all the way down to smaller subway systems. PRT falls under the AGT category. When it comes to the paths that it takes, it leans more like personal public transportation systems.

Transport Revolutions by Richard Gilbert,Anthony Perl Pdf

Transport Revolutions: Moving People and Freight without Oil sets out the challenges to our growing dependence on transport fuelled by low-priced oil. These challenges include an early peak in world oil production and profound climate change resulting in part from oil use. It proposes responses to ensure effective, secure movement of people and goods in ways that make the best use of renewable sources of energy while minimizing environmental impacts.Transport Revolutions synthesizes engineering, economics, environment, organization, policy and technology, and draws extensively on current data to present important conclusions. The authors argue that land transport in the first half of the 21st century will feature at least two revolutions. One will involve the use of electric drives rather than internal combustion engines. Another will involve powering many of these drives directly from the electric grid - as trains and trolley buses are powered today - rather than from on-board fuel. They go on to discuss marine transport, whose future is less clear, and aviation, which could see the most dramatic breaks from current practice.With its expert analysis of the politics and business of transport, Transport Revolutions is essential reading for professionals and students in transport, energy, town planning and public policy.
