The purpose of the program was to define the GM Dual Mode Transit System concept and to develop a preliminary system design. Major features of the concept include the following: demand responsive service, synchronous speeds of 25 m/s on the line-haul corridor guideways and 12 m/s on CBD guideways, theoretical capacity of 10,774 passengers per lane-hour, three-level computer hierarchy, and 17-passenger vehicle. Chapters include description of the concept, system management, cost parametric, description of the GM Phase II Feasibility Demonstration System and system development. Appendices are 'Failure Mode and Effects Analysis,' 'Fault Tree Analysis - Vehicle Automatic Control Equipment,' 'Reliability Prediction - Electric Propulsion System,' and brief summaries of related reports.
