Abstract:

This paper is the result of continuing efforts to understand the safe-headway tradeoffs for personal rapid transit (PRT) and dual-mode systems (DMS). It adds a new dimension to the traditional interactions among control complexity, safety, and acceleration constraints. The new dimension is the possibility of greatly reducing or, in some cases, eliminating the ramps leading into and out of stations.
