Fast Transit Link (FTL) systems can serve a useful transportation function by providing a point-to-point or line haul service as, for example, from a central business district to the suburbs or an airport. The report contains individual technical evaluations of four proposed FTL systems: Aerial Transit System; Aerial Transport System; Gravity-Vacuum-Transit System; Scherer Monobeam Concept (Scherer Monobeam Co.). The report responds to the stated objectives of the UMTA evaluation study, which is to access the technological maturity of the systems, to identify potential technical problems, and to recommend, where appropriate, necessary development of the systems or important components.
