DUAL-MODE SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM OF THE URBAN MASS TRANSPORTATION ADMINISTRATION

This paper reviews an early study that compared dual-mode and conventional bus rapid transit and that served as background to a three-phase development program of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration. Phase I includes system concepts and design; phase 2 includes detailed design and system performance on a test facility; and phase 3 includes prototype development and tests and a demonstration in an urban area.
