The report consists of three separate studies. The first study discusses a PRT system operating under quasi-synchronous control and demonstrates the feasibility and limitations of this strategy in a very high-demand situation using a computer simulation. The second paper applies optimization theory to the design of feedback control systems for high-capacity automated transit systems. Resulting controllers minimize headway and velocity errors without causing passenger discomfort. Significant dynamic response is achieved during normal mainline operation, merging and demerging, maneuvering and emergency stopping. The third paper discusses the theory of optimal control as applied to the design of feedback systems for longitudinal control of automated transit vehicles.
