This report presents the results of the Automated Transit System at the William B. Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport. This system was manufactured, installed, and is operated under contract by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation. The system is one of six installations of Westinghouse systems presently in operation. This assessment was conducted as part of a project for Assessment of Transit Technologies which include new technology developments. The system assessed for this report employs technology improvements not found on previous installations. The deployment of operational switches makes it adaptable to a wider variety of urban transit requirements. This report includes a description of the installation of the Automated Transit System and a review of the technical subsystems, as well as an evaluation of system performance, system cost, and system implementation history.
