Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) is the emerging personal transport vehicle operating on the loop automatically. The PRT system utilize the electrical power from super capacity or battery, it is important to manage the power or energy. In this regards, the management of high temperature occurred by the operation of system is significantly important to prevent from serious damage of component. In this study, we studied the adequate shape of underbody which can reduce the heat accumulation by pickup coil and condenser using natural air cooling. We suggested the additional air pathway, air inlet and flow separator to decrease the temperature of the heat source components. It was found that suggested system can decrease the temperature of PRT under body by 16% during the static mode and by 10% during the running mode at 30km/h. It is expected that the findings of this study will feed into final design of newly built Korean PRT vehicle.

Personal Rapid Transit(PRT)는 경쟁력 있는 건설비와 운영비로 보행중심의 환경을 제공함으로써 대중교통 중심의 지속가능한 사회를 위한 바람직한 교통수단으로 등장하였다. 본 연구에서는 PRT 도입시 PRT 이용경험이 없는 사람들의 교통수단선택 행태의 변화를 분석하였다. PRT 선택행태 분석의 핵심 이슈는 경험해보지 못한 교통수단에 대한 이용자들의 인지와 평가를 어떻게 효과적으로 측정하는 가이다. PRT 도입전후의 교통수단 선택에 대한 RP와 SP 자료를 설문조사를 이용하여 수집하였다. 설문지는 PRT 선호에 대한 bias를 최소화하도록 설계하였으며, 설문응답자의 성실한 답변을 방해하는 수많은 SP 설문항목을 획기적으로 줄일 수 있도록, 복잡한 fractional factorial 설계를 사용하지 않았다. 분석결과를 통해 본 연구에서 제안된 방법이 교통수단선택과 관련된 설명변수들을 효과적으로 측정하고 있음을 알 수 있다. 이산선택모형을 이용하여 다양한 PRT 시스템 특성과 운영방식하에서의 교통수단선택을 추정하였으며, 2개의 대상도시에 대해 PRT 이용수요를 예측하였다.

We deal with the headway which effects on the performance of the PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system and the system safety. The headway, time between passage of one vehicle and the next, is one of the important factors to assess the line capacity, which has a cue to solve the problem of the congestion in public transportation. To decide the headway there are many important factors, especially such as the failure vehicle deceleration rate, the following simple analytical equation can be made to assess the relation between the line speed and the minimum headway. In this paper we employ a numerical analysis method using a simple analytical equations for the evaluation of the minimum headway and show simple simulation results.

Personal rapid transit (PRT) is getting attention as a new form of transportation. It is energy efficient and provides the high level of passenger service. In this study, the dynamic PRT dispatching and routing problem is dealt with. Passengers request transportation service on a complex network, and an operating system monitors passenger arrivals and coordinates vehicles in real time. A new online dispatching and routing algorithm is proposed, which minimizes the total travel distance of vehicles and the waiting time of passengers. The algorithm dispatches vehicles by considering multiple vehicles' state and multiple passengers at the same time. In particular, finding the shortest-time path is attempted by taking into account the future congestion on lanes. Discrete-event simulation is employed to validate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The results show the algorithm in this study outperforms others.

본 논문에서는 PRT (Personal Rapid Transit)의 원격 제어를 위한 무선 채널 환경에서 안테나 선택 기법을 적용한 MIMO-OFDM 시스템에서 귀환 정보의 양을 줄이는 효과적인 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 PRT 무선 채널 환경에서 차량에 할당된 주파수 채널 상관도에 따라 부반송파들을 그룹 단위로 나눈 후 그룹의 중앙에 위치한 부반송파의 채널 값을 기준으로 해당 부반송파 그룹의 송신 안테나를 선택한다. 모의실험을 통해 해당 그룹의 부반송파들의 수를 적절히 선택하면 적은 성능의 열화를 가지고도 귀환 정보의 양을 크게 줄일 수 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 PRT 무선 채널 환경에서 차량과 제어기지국 사이의 귀환 채널의 전송률이 고정된 경우, 차량의 속도가 증가할수록 제안한 기법이 더욱 좋은 성능을 보였다.

This paper presents a design of a simulation apparatus to evaluate an operational control algorithm for the PRT system. PRT systems require very short headways to increase the line capacity and a very reliable vehicle control algorithm for avoidance of the impact between vehicles. Therefore, it can be said that the development of an reliable operational control algorithm for the PRT systems is much more important than that of the hardware configurations. In this paper an apparatus is proposed which is composed of virtual vehicles, a central control system, a man-machine interface and monitoring device, making it possible for the designed operational control algorithm to be implemented and tested. For the test of the proposed apparatus a test operational control algorithm is designed and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed simulation apparatus for test and evaluation of the PRT operational control algorithms.

PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) system is a new transportation system which will meet increasing demands of traffic in Korea. It is also an environment-friendly transportation and automatically operated. For these reasons, researches on the PRT system are actively undergoing, but the PRT vehicles have different forms of subway, bus, etc. There are no design standards to evaluate structural integrity, yet. In this paper, Structural design specifications are derived, which are based on the performance test standard for EMU and the ASCE-APM standards. We also perform the static and fatigue analyses by FE simulation and suggest strategies to improve an initial structure design. In addition, we derived the design specifications for energy-absorbing structures to meet the conditions of the collision scenarios predefined from a view point of operation safety.
