The guide presents a system for classifying cable-powered people movers and discusses urban applications. Parametric models are presented which relate system design features such as length, velocity, and vehicle capacity to system design capacity. In-depth technical descriptions are provided for the Otis Shuttle, Soule SK, VSL Metro Shuttle 6000, Detachable Gondola systems, Pulsed Gondola systems, Funicular systems, Reversible Aerial Tramways, the Waagner-Biro reversible Suspended Monorail, and the POMA 2000. Descriptions cover aspects of performance, vehicle design, alignment capabilities, guideway construction, architectural integration, vehicle speed and position control, safety, and costs. Numerous illustrations and diagrams are included.
