The report describes and evaluates operating policies for Personalized Rapid Transit (PRT) systems and illustrates their implementation in a PRT vehicle autopilot. The vehicles frequency of passage and other considerations that contribute to the selection of such frequencies are the major topics of the report. Also studied are the various effects on system parameters and performance that follow the selection of an operating policy. The report examines 3 potential operating policies for PRT systems and defines the necessary limitations on headways resulting from design parameters and the effects of maneuvers. The operating policies considered are constant separation, constant K factor, and constant headway operation.
