| Abstract | This study addresses the issues of personal security on Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) Systems, as they might be deployed in typical urban residential and non-residential settings. Based upon a literature review, it outlines basic characteristics of existing transit crime; compares station design concepts for AGT and conventional rail transit; reviews the key environmental characteristics of AGT stations which may influence crime potential; inventories both existing and proposed countermeasures for transit crime reduction; identifies additional neighborhood resources which might be mobilized as countermeasures; reviews available techniques for predicting transit crime; and reviews techniques available for both predicting transit crime and assessing countermeasure effectiveness and offers recommendations for analysis strategies to be employed in local AGT studies. Traditional as well as innovative analysis techniques are covered. This report recommends a general approach for AGT station security requirements analysis which can be used by localities in site-specific AGT planning and engineering studies. This report provides a list of references as well as an annotated bibliography. |
