This paper presents an analysis of various commercially available renewable energy sources (wind, solar) developed and integrated into a hypothetical Automated Fixed Guideway Transit system. The analysis will include various scenarios involving different combinations of renewable energy technologies with a typical APM system technology. This paper will also explore economic and cost implications, environmental and ecological benefits of each scenario. The goal of such a system will be to reduce operating cost, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and to ultimately create a fully sustainable transportation system.
