Automatic Mixed Traffic Transit (AMTT) is an innovative system concept for low-speed tram-type transit in which suitable vehicles are equipped with sensors and controls to permit them to operate in an automated mode on existing road or walkway surfaces. The AMTT is a transit option which will be useful at sites where a low-speed tram-type service is needed. AMTT is a cost-effective option because costs for the driver dominate in a conventional bus system and guideway costs dominate in an exclusive right-of-way automated guideway transit system. Neither of the cost elements will be present in an AMTT system. This report describes the design of an automated wire-following tram which has been under development at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
