The Princeton Intelligent Transit Visualization System (PITVS) is described. The PITVS is software designed to provide transit planners, engineers, and the general public with an interactive three-dimensional transportation system design and analysis tool. The software provides the functionality to (a) build transit networks, positioning guideway, intersections, and stations while specifying guideway cross-section characteristics and station demand characteristics using a graphical user interface; (b) view these networks in a three-dimensional representation of the planning area with fully interactive user control over viewing positions; and (c) view randomly generated simulated operations on a transit network design based on demand characteristics and a system operations strategy. Both the methods of and the motivations behind the PITVS are explained, and the positive enhancement that interactive three-dimensional graphics will give to the transit systems design process is affirmed.
