Abstract

Abstract A generalised model is used to provide estimates of overall trip times and speed for conventional corridor‐collective transport and PRT. The results demonstrate why traditional forms of transport find difficulty providing an effective service in a city. Short separations between stops are required to minimise walk times but on conventional transport this leads to significant reductions in achievable speed because of the need for frequent stops. It is also shown that there is very little benefit in service effectiveness from LRT/APM/Monorail over buses. PRT is immune to these effects. The present calculations typically show a benefit for PRT of a factor of two or greater in trip time over either bus or LRT/APM.
