This paper reflects the view that both the accelerating walkway (AW) and the automated mixed traffic vehicle (AMTV) system can provide service for short urban trips. In this paper, estimated life cycle costs of the two promising feeder and local circulation systems, AW and AMTV, are examined. Cost functions for the AW and the AMTV are described; their sensitivity to some of the design, operating and cost parameters is examined. The two systems are placed in the context of hypothetical applications to identify typical user costs.
