The report summarizes research conducted on the conceptual and experimental development of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) during the period from 1968 to 1975. The work considered not only the technical and operational aspects of the PRT concept, but also included estimates of PRT capital and operating costs, analyses of system safety and reliability, analyses of urban applications and associated economics, evaluation of PRT energy utilization, development of PRT planning methodologies, and assessments of PRT deployment impacts. Technology shortfalls associated with the possible future implementation of the specific PRT concept are identified, and research and development activities to overcome these shortfalls are recommended.
