Description
Abstract: The Potential of MISTER Personal Rapid Transit to Sustain the Mobility and Development of Modern Communities, including:
1. Introduction: the role of transport in Schumpeterian innovation waves
2. Key challenges faced for public transport investments:
–– CapEx, OpEx and the subsidy requirements of most public transit systems
–– Providing a level of service sufficient to persuade motorists from their cars and making transit itself an attractive choice
–– Mass personalisation in consumer markets
–– The issue of pedestrian, vehicular and junction conflicts
–– Engineering problems with retro-fitting good solutions into existing urban environments
3. Outlining Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), comparing some of the systems in the market place, to show how Second Generation PRT could likely address the above issues and ISNGI’s stated Grand Research Challenge, likely including:
–– Summary results from transport modelling- based analysis
–– Explanation of some features specific to MISTER PRT.
