The report describes and assesses the Satellite Transit System (STS), an exclusively underground AGT system of the shuttle loop transit class used for passenger transport at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The information and data presented were collected through surveys of technical literature; formal site visits; interviews with operators, management, and engineering personnel; and a visit to the system manufacturer (Westinghouse). The report contains seven major sections and a comprehensive information checklist attached as an appendix: (1) Executive Summary; (2) Background Information; (3) Technical Description; (4) System Operational and Performance Assessment; (5) System Economics; (6) System Development Process; and (7) Concluding Remarks. The report concludes that the STS system has had no major problems in its four-year operating history, and it is in a position to further expand its final design capacity.
