VEHICLE LATERAL CONTROL AND SWITCHING. VOLUME V. DATA BASE

Volume V, this report, provides a catalog of the data base material gathered and classified as part of the VLACS project. It contains (1) an annotated bibliography, which includes short summaries of the documents listed, a list of descriptors, and a series of user designators, and (2) a subject index, which includes numerous entries and subentries, and cross-references. The data base lists technical works dealing with vehicle lateral control, switching and steering systems, vehicle dynamics, ride quality, and other related topics. Its purpose is to help planners and designers find the material they need to evaluate and select automated guideway transit (AGT) systems.
