The Morgantown People Mover (MPM) is one of the most technologically advanced automated ground transportation systems in the world. It is a fully automated guideway transit (AGT) system under complete computer control. There are 8.7 miles of single lane guideway with five passenger stations and two maintenance stations. The vehicles are powered from a 575 volt three phase power rail that runs immediately above the guide rail throughout the system. The overall objectives of this study were the measurement of the power to determine real time power demand by the vehicle; and the development of a load flow analysis on the power system with several vehicles operating. This study developed a system of measuring and recording power demand on the MPM system. Vehicle power demand profiles are presented for some sections of the guideway.
