THE PEAK PERIOD OPTIMIZATION STRATEGY OF AVCS MAGWAY NETWORK OPERATION

AVCS maglev is the synergistic combination of Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS), and the high-speed magnetic levitation (Maglev) technology. The guideways would be constructed basically in the medians of existing freeways. Like present day automobiles, the vehicles would be privately owned and could operate on ordinary highways and streets as well as the AVCS maglev guideways (magways). In this paper the features of AVCS maglev is investigated. And then, the important aspects of fully-automated guideway network operation of this innovative hybrid personal transportation system are investigated. Lastly, the peak period optimization strategy to maximize the throughput of a magway system is investigated using a linear programming model.
