The report reflects the view that the existing urban transportation planning process tends to ignore new transportation technologies such as personal rapid transit, automated guideway transportation, accelerated moving walkways, shared taxi. The report describes an information system which accepts as input a set of characteristics describing a particular transportation need and yields as output a list of transportation technologies capable of satisfying that need. A broad range of transportation need situations can be fed into this system. The system, however, is concerned with people movement rather than goods movement. The user of the system specifies the nature and extent of demand, as well as certain service requirements. A transportation technology is identified as suited to a particular need situation when the technology meets the demand and the service requirements, and does so at reasonable costs. The final selection process is not part of the system. The system consists of two tables. Their use is described and examples are presented. The procedure used to develop the tables is discussed.
