PRT 2000: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A TRANSIT-GRADE PERSONAL RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM

By intent, the development of the Raytheon PRT 2000 personal rapid transit system has resulted in a high-performance, transit-grade PRT system ready for deployment. Building on the PRT concepts of the past 20 years, PRT 2000 retains the full functionality of personal rapid transit while incorporating the essential features of a deployable, highly reliable, and safe automated transit system. Extensive requirements analysis, design trade-offs and system/subsystem testing have produced a cost-effective and robust product that addresses the functional, structural, and performance requirements of a transit system with a useful life of 50 years.
