An engineering baseline definition is given of an urban transportation circulation and distribution system consisting of moderate-sized vehicles riding on rubber tires atop a concrete guideway. Guidance is by idler wheels bearing against an I-beam in the center of the tracks. Switching is in the track. Stations are on-line. Electric propulsion is used. Application to an airport is discussed. (UMTA abstract)
