An Automated Mixed Traffic Vehicle (AMTV) is a driverless vehicle which follows a fixed route by means of a buried electrical guidewire and shares its guideway with pedestrians and/or other vehicles. Possible urban applications include transit services within public malls, large commercial/industrial/educational/ and governmental facilities. Currently a low-speed (7 mph) AMTV is undergoing experimental operation at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The results of this study should help to form a basis on which system designs for specific urban application can be readily developed in the future. The study analyzes the operation and evaluates the expected performance of a proposed automatic guideway transit system which uses low-speed AMTV's. Vehicle scheduling and headway control policies are evaluated with a transit system simulation model. The effect of mixed-traffic interference on the average vehicle speed is examined with a vehicle-pedestrian interface model. Control parameters regulating vehicle speed are evaluated for safe stopping and passenger comfort.
