The paper examines the prospect of applying automated transit circulator systems for the "last mile" conveyance of passengers between a high-speed rail station and their destination in the surrounding urban district. The characteristics of high-speed rail stations are discussed with respect to their scale, urban context and ridership demand patterns, and the capacity requirements for automated systems to serve in the "last mile" function. Current project work on the Texas DOT Intercity Passenger Rail Ridership Study is referenced, and a discussion of the simulation and analysis methodologies being used in the study are compared to similar methodologies previously applied to study automated guideway transit connector systems in airports. The paper concludes with an assessment of the suitability of conceptual aerial guideway automated transit systems in conjunction with high speed rail stations for each of the main classifications of automated transit technologies.
