Ashine Tamhane, Master's Thesis, University of Cincinnati.
This 144-page report explains in great detail a method for using GIS
data to estimate ridership for a PRT network around
the University of Cincinnati campus. This ridership is then fed into
a computer model in order to make projections about the cost and
feasibility of PRT for this area. |

Booz Allen and Hamilton,
Feasibility Study for PRT in New Jersey.
Responding to a directive of the New Jersey state legislature, Booz
Allen and Hamilton prepared an analysis of whether personal rapid transit
is feasible in the State of New Jersey. The study is a good overview
of the technology and current efforts by the leading vendors. It
concludes that PRT is a feasible technology for transportation planning.
