The report presents research completed on optimum (minimum cost) design of PRT vhicle guideway systems; analysis of periodic motions of PRT vehicles over straight flexible guideways; and continued investigations of vehicle motions over curved elastic guideways. These three areas represent essential ingredients of a mathematical study of the performance of candidate vehicle/guideway designs. The dynamics of PRT vehicles over flexible curved guideways have been investigated with the primary objective being to establish a computationally efficient method for studying this problem. A computer algorithm has been developed and tested in order to optimize its computational efficiency. The algorithm will be used to construct a test track which is made up of straight-transition-curved-transition-straight guideway segments. Candidate vehicle/guideway designs determined by the optimization algorithm will then be proof test on this curved track in order to verify the fidelity of the system design. (Kursetz)
