| dc.description.abstract | Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system is an automatic guided rail transit system that is used for urban area transportation and is designed to provide uninterrupted transportation on demand. This paper aims to provide a reasonable case study of developing a campus PRT system. This research using VISSIM operate the traffic simulation based on students' trip distribution data and then with the help of MATLAB analyzing the simulation data, the logical blueprint of the PRT system around the University of Delaware, including guideway network and operation scheme. ☐ This paper focuses on the planning and adjustment of the PRT network. Recommendations for the future study include completing the implementation plan of the construction according to the local geological and hydrological conditions, and the potential negative impact of the PRT system on surrounding areas. | en_US |
