Abstract:

This document brings together the state-of-the-art in planning concepts, methods and data for use by those cities proposing or considering comprehensive or innovative downtown circulation systems, particularly Downtown People Mover systems. DPM systems are a subset of Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) systems, a class of transportation systems that includes unmanned vehicles operating on fixed exclusive guideways. Although primary attention in the report is given to DPM systems, it should be emphasized that these are but one example of a downtown circulator system. The advantage of using such a complicated circulator system example as a DPM is that the resulting report covers a broad range of planning issues, only a subset of which would be of concern in planning a simpler or conventional circulation system. The report thus tends to be a quite useful reference document for planning any type of downtown circulation system. This volumes comprises the concept stage of the downtown circulator planning process. Included are sections on the development of goals and objectives, generation of alternative conceptual designs, familiarization with important planning issues, and crude feasibility studies of alternative systems.
