This chapter presents a general landscape of automated transit applications in terms of system, service, and financial characteristics. With the wide span of vehicle and network capacities ranging from very small podcars to very long driverless metro (DLM) trains; varied climate, culture, and institutional structures; and diversified operating characteristics, the automated transit industry has the potential to provide a wide spectrum of applications for different government, institutional, and even private entities to choose from. The chapter demonstrates the process or key elements that can be adjusted to increase the throughput of an automated transit application. The Morgantown group rapid transit (GRT) is the only system that uses all three modes of operation: demand mode, schedule mode, and continuous circulation mode. The Life Cycle Cost (LCC) of an automated transit system is the sum of the acquisition and support costs of all subsystems during the life span of the particular application.
