The general characteristics and specifications of automated guideway transportation, defined as systems in which individual vehicles travel at close spacings under full lateral and longitudinal control, and in which all stations off line, have been studied. The areas examined include travel demands; costs; performance requirements; guideway spacing; dual-mode use; safety, reliability and emergency procedures; control and communications systems; information organization and transfer; network and terminal design; and guideway structures. The potential of guideways for providing inter-city movement, predominantly of miscellaneous freight, considered.
