Abstract

This paper deals with a design of a platform to simulate PRT vehicle operational control algorithms using on-board embedded process board. The configuration of the platform is composed of the central control module, the station control module, man-machine interface and monitoring module. Since PRT system needs inherently very reliable vehicle operational control algorithm in order to avoid the impact between vehicles, it is very important to construct a simulation platform to test a designed vehicle operational control algorithm during the development process For the test of the proposed platform a path of the each moving vehicle is predefined in the central control system before the dispatch order is given to the vehicle. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed simulation platform for test and evaluation of the PRT operational control algorithms.
