Abstract:This report presents the results of an investigation of the Cabintaxi/Cabinlift automated guideway transit (AGT) systems under development in the Federal Republic of Germany. These systems have not been conceived and designed for a particular transportation need at a specific site, but as a modular set of "building blocks" which can be configured into specific systems to suit a variety of applications. The systems are still evolving; most of the individual componnets have reached a high level of maturity, while the technical development of others has just begun. A Cabintaxi/Cabinlift system has not been deployed for use by the general public except of a simple, single-vehicle shuttle system at a hospital in Ziegenhain, Germany. The present technology is the result of an interactive design process which began in 1969 and has been greatly aided by the use of a large and sophisticated test facility in Hagen, Germany since 1973. /Author/
