TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION PROGRAM DEMONSTRATION PROBLEM

The report describes the application of a computerized methodology to the analysis of a representative ground transportation system. The preferred design and performance characteristics of a tracked air cushioned vehicle system were determined in order to minimize the cost per passenger mile. The vehicle-guideway system was mathematically represented by a set of simultaneous, non-linear, algebraic equations. This description was combined with a cost accounting model and structured for solution on a digital computer. Results were obtained for parametrically varied system performance levels. (Author)
