A study of steering control systems for Automated Guideway Transit Systems has been conducted which has included a state-of-the-art survey of steering control and an evaluation of vehicle dynamic models for steering controller design. The performance of a typical AGT vehicle using a mechanical reference steering system has been determined for direct proportional, partial state feedback and full state feedback steering controllers. RMS tracking errors and RMS vehicle acceleration levels are computed for selected vehicle controllers with the vehicle traveling on a mainline track described in terms of its random irregularity properties.
