Abstract:The Urban Tracked Air Cushion Vehicle (UTACV) is presently being developed as a means of improving urban transportation. This report covers the development of a cost analysis conducted for the UTACV. The report covers the development of a computer program used for determining the costs incurred in the application of the UTACV for various hypothetical situations and for performing sensitivity analyses for the cost parameters. Specifically, based on various levels of passenger demand, the computer program determines the system operating characteristics, total project cost, operating costs, revenues, and requirements for debt financing. The report will also describe a modification of the original computer program to include a comparative cost analysis between the UTACV and Rapid Rail, Express Bus and Line Haul PRT systems.
