Automated guideway transit (AGT) systems often have off-line stations, so that cars can travel directly from an origin to a destination, bypassing the intervening stations. Trip time is reduced, and a more flexible overall management policy is possible. The disadvantage of off-line stations is that additonal guideway is required for the station and its associated ramps. More guideway is expensive, both to build and because of the extra space required. Conventional practice has assumed that the ramps leading into and out of off-line stations should be long enough 1) to accelerate to line speed before entering the main guideway and 2) to leave the guideway before decelerating into the station. Careful analysis using a headway safety computer program shows that ramps usually do not have to be this long.
