Abstract:The purpose of this report is to present a general procedure for using the SOS software to analyze AGT systems. Data to aid the analyst in specifying input information, required as input to the software, are summarized in the appendices. The data are based on analyses of information derived from existing and proposed systems during the SOS program. The procedure described in this report is based on experience gained during the SOS program and from other applications of the SOS software. Potential applications of the SOS software are discussed in terms of the deployment characteristics that can be evaluated using the SOS models. The SOS software can be used to simulate the operation of an entire AGT system deployment or to evaluate the detailed operation of particular guideway segments and stations. The software can also be used to evaluate life cycle costs, system availability, and feeder system requirements. Other applications for the SOS software include (1) supporting feasibility studies or preliminary engineering of AGT systems that may be actually deployed in specific locales; and (2) assessing existing AGT systems and evaluating proposed system modifications.
