Abstract:

This report describes an assessment of the Transette system located at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia. The Transette system is a unique, fully-automated, engineering prototype transportation test system installed on the campus of the Institute. It is a 0.25-mile belt-driven system currently in a loop configuration, employing passive vehicles controlled and propelled by a drive belt system that permits vehicles to move at twice the speed of the belt. This report presents the background and events of the development of the Transette system also gives a technical description of the system. A description of the system operation and performance and the system economics is provided. This report also provides the Transportation Systems Center (TSC) assessment of Transette with recommendations of what is needed for a revenue system.
