American cities rarely consider the implementation of Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) systems to serve the transportation needs of their major corridors. However, an interest in major corridor AGT systems has recently been generated by the success of the Clarian Health Automated People Mover conceived and managed by Jakes Associates, Inc. As a result, AGT system solutions have received increased consideration, as demonstrated by the three recent examples presented in this paper: an automated urban monorail for Pinellas County, Florida, a high performance Automated Guideway Transit system for Indianapolis, Indiana, and a Personal Rapid Transit system for Toledo, Ohio.
