A PRT DEPLOYMENT STRATEGY TO SUPPORT REGIONAL LAND USE AND RAIL TRANSIT OBJECTIVES

After a decade or more of neglect, a resurgence of interest in Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) technologies seems to be in the air. The questions for those interested in PRT is: How can PRT be deployed to assist and enhance the performance of new rail transit lines? The purpose of this article is to outline a PRT deployment strategy that will allow those interested in conventional rail and PRT to join forces and work together to increase transit's share of the urban mobility market during the 1990s and beyond.
