This chapter outlines a few future directions, which are critical to expedite development processes or avoid any sidetracks or missteps for automated transit development and implementations. The applicability of any particular design/mode is influenced by a variety of factors, such as changing technology, economic conditions, development and demographic patterns, and social acceptance at particular times. Environmental and societal impacts are often referred as external effects of transportation activities because they are not reflected directly in monetary costs and benefits of project implementation. The recent development in standardization for automated guideway transit operation by various professional organizations may serve as evidence of the APM/ATS industry's maturity. PRT is an efficient rapid transit system that can provide the last mile connectivity to users with a high level of reliability and comfort. Working toward a common goal, many sectors, such as automotive, insurance, technology and government, can and must play critical roles in the automated transit development process.
