Personal rapid transport (or transit) = ”automatbane(? )”
Førerløs offentlig transport (Personal rapid Transit = PRT) • Ikke lenger mange mennesker i få bokser. . . • . . . men få mennesker i mange bokser => • Tett nettverk av linjer, kort vei å gå • Ingen eller lite venting • Ingen stopp mellom avgangssted og reisemål • Privatliv • PRT kan se slik ut: 2

What is Personal Rapid Transit? Small Automated Personal Vehicles Elevated Guideways On-Demand Access at Off-Line Stations Non-Stop, Point-to-Point Service
Fixes Fundamental Problem of Rail & Buses Riders Have to Change Modes, Wait For Departures and Stop At EVERY Stop on the Route Home Work
PRT Architecture Network of Non-Stop Guideways Accessed by On-Ramps & Off-Ramps Same Design as Interstate Highways
PRT Architecture Like Interstate Highways you ride non-stop in a personal vehicle traveling on a guideway “lane”anywhere in the network.
United States First Generation PRT Morgantown, West Virginia Operated by West Virginia University for over 30 years and to this day is primary mode of service for students, faculty and staff. 8. 7 mile system Over 63 million passengers since 1972. Handles 15, 000 people per day with a peak of 30, 000. Unblemished safety record. No serious accidents. Availability rate above 98. 5%.
Second Generation PRT Low Speed Up to 30 mph Small Scale Local Circulators Only High Maintenance Uses wheels Over 1000 lbs. Uses larger vehicles
Second Generation PRT Close-Up ULTRA System Heathrow Airport, U. K. Deployment Operational in 2008
Next Generation PRT High Speed to 150 mph Scalable Networks Local, Regional, National Service Low Maintenance Uses maglev instead of wheels Under 1000 lbs. Uses aerodynamic vehicles Energy Efficient Up to 500 mpg Zero Carbon Solar Powered Up

”Kostnadsanslag” “For early phase systems the cost is $US 6 million per unidirectional Km and $US 9 million for a bi-directional Km. In later phase systems, when the manufacturing processes are mature and the economy of scales are maximized probably in the realm of $US 3. 5 million per unidirectional Km and $US 5 million for a bi-directional Km. These figures exclude survey, regulatory approvals, utility relocation, specific site related expenses, etc. They include vehicles and portals. Early phase vehicles probably will cost us about $15 -20, 000 each. We hope we can cut this down to $5, 000 in mass production. ”
