Many new urban transportation systems involve the use of automatically controlled vehicles. Some new systems, such as personal rapid transit (PRT) and dual mode, are characterized by small automated transit vehicles traveling on exclusive guideways. The number of passengers per vehicles is small, and short headways are necessary for high capacity. A versatile, efficient, and safe control system is needed to maintain proper spacing between vehicles without causing passenger discomfort. The report is devoted to the design of a longitudinal control system using modern control technology. A detailed mathematical model of the longitudinal motion of automated transit vehicles in an external-reference system is presented.
