A preliminary design of a controls system applicable to a wide range of automated ground transportation systems is specified and discussed. The design covers the functions of safety assurance, navigation, space allocation and communications. A four-level hierarchy control system is described which includes hardware and software for the network control center, local controllers, a distributed control and communications line for guideway installation, and vehicle control equipment. The three volume report discusses in detail the rationales involved in the major tradeoff decisions. (Author)
