  2. Define AAPM and PRT Compare Operating Characteristics Infrastructure Costs Level of Service Safety and Security PRT Viability Airport Design & Operational Impacts Summary of Results Overview

  3. Driverless Train on a guideway One to four, 20 to 100 passenger cars Most passengers stand Stops at all stations Short regular headways(minutes) Airport Automated People Movers

  4. Driverless vehicles on a guideway One to four seated passengers plus luggage Direct origin to destination service No need to transfer or stop Service on demand – not scheduled Very short headways (seconds) Personal Rapid Transit (PRT)

  5. Open Guideway (ULTra) Captive Bogey (Postech) Suspended (JPods)

  12. PRT/AAPM Visualization

  13. Guideways PRT = ½ AAPM cost & capacity ± May be more useful to compare cost per station Elevated PRT column loads = 12% AAPM ± At Grade PRT similar to sidewalk Below Grade 2 PRT guideways = ½ cross-section for 1 AAPM guideway ± Infrastructure

  15. PRT stations are typically smaller (even for same capacity) Tight radii (15’) and steep (10%) gradients make PRT station flexible Stations

  16. Airport Concourse Station

  17. Automated systems tend to have lower costs AAPMs can cost less than $1.00 per passenger Morgantown PRT costs $1.50 per passenger Modern PRT expected to cost less than Morgantown and AAPMs Operating Cost Per Passenger

  18. Site specific Studies suggest 2 to 5 times less than AAPM Turnkey costs for open-guideway PRT = $10 – $15 million per one-way mile Capital Costs per Passenger

  19. Little or no waiting (<1 minute at LHR) Non-stop Seated travel Private Total trip times about ½ of AAPM Expected to match AAPM 99.7% availability Level of Service

  20. One way traffic Lower maximum speeds Separated from other traffic and pedestrians Crowding (a potential security vulnerability) is avoided 110 million injury-free passenger miles at Morgantown (regular transit would have injured over 100) Safety and Security

  21. Morgantown has proven the concept Currently no vendors with long history of viability ULTra On schedule for public service at Heathrow in 2008 BAA is buying stock 2getthere Ten-year track record with similar systems in Holland Vectus Subsidiary of Posco Aggressive testing program in Sweden Viability

  22. Replace shuttle buses Reduce curbside congestion/pollution Bring passengers into terminal Potential Airport Design & Operational Impacts

  23. Seated travel terminal to gate Smaller independent concourses On-board airline functions & security screening Change functionality of terminal Consolidate waiting and concessions in same area Just-in-time passenger delivery to gate Potential Airport Design & Operational Impacts
