After more than 25 years of modeling PRT systems, and PRT operations strategies, such models are now being adapted to shared autonomous taxis (aTaxi). Although control principles differ significantly, strategies for ride-sharing and empty vehicle management are similar. A micro-simulation modeling suite for aTaxi is being developed from scratch based on the principles of PRTsim which has previously been applied to some 50 networks. A case study was made in French Saclay outside Paris. Operations strategies are compared with respect to fleet requirements and service level.
