Ride-Sharing on PRT
Publication: Automated People Movers 2005: Moving to Mainstream
Abstract
The name Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) indicates that passengers are served on an individual basis. It is an important quality of PRT that passengers do not have to wait for vehicles to be filled up. They travel alone or in company of their own choice. PRT vehicles like taxis are designed for small parties, typically for 3–5 passengers. In this paper we will discuss pros and cons with non-puristic PRT where some passengers are matched to share the same vehicle. Simulation results are given for a proposed PRT network for Fornebu Oslo.
