STAGE REACHED IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMATIC MODULAR TRANSPORT SYSTEMS IN EUROPE, JAPAN AND NORTH AMERICA

ENTWICKLUNGSSTAND DER AUTOMATISCHEN KABINENBAHNEN IN EUROPA, JAPAN UND NORDAMERIKA

The idea behind the development of modular transport systems is to reduce the cost of personnel through automated operation, and to increase commercial speed and comfort. In France, three systems have been developed: the "VAL" system constructed in Lille, the "POMA 2000" system planned for Laon, and the "ARAMIS S" modular system in Paris. In Japan, a system of cabins is used when the capacity of the buses is insufficient: it is used essentially to link centres of activity together, such as for an airport-city centre link.
