Abstract:

The papers in this Record report on an intermediate-capacity transit system, station and intersection for a personal rapid transit network, feasibility of an elevated STOL-port test facility, application and development of demand-actuated transportation system, and a moving walkway. Ontario's Program for Intermediate Capacity Transit describes the Province's plan for building and testing a demonstration transit system of intermediate capacity in Toronto, the forerunner for revenue systems in major Ontario cities over the next decade. The paper on PRT networks describes an effort to develop geometric designs for for high-capacity systems, stations and intersections with predictions of their performance under quasi-synchronous control at different design and operating conditions.
