Abstract
Personal rapid transit(PRT) systems have been highlighted in future transportation developments as a result of their potential as sustainable and eco-friendly transport solutions that provide demand-responsive mobility services. One of the most important characteristics of the personal rapid transit system(PRT) is that it can be constructed and operated at a low cost. A fundamental study on the alignment of the PRT guideway considering running stability was conducted in the present study. In addition, a parameter analysis of the major alignment design variables such as curve radius, transition curve length and cant was performed by vehicle dynamic analysis and optimum guideway alignments were proposed. The analysis results suggested that the theoretical values were satisfied and also confirmed the possibility of reducing the standard.
