| Abstract | This guidebook provides AGT system planners, designers and operators with information on available crime countermeasures and their relative effectiveness against transit crime. Crime countermeasures on current transit systems have been reviewed and their applicability for different categories and designs of AGT systems has been evaluated. The guidebook emphasizes countermeasures which have proved effective in conventional transit systems. This emphasis is not to the exclusion of innovative countermeasures, but reflects the requirement that the guidebook present proven, reliable anti-crime strategies to its users. Research into urban transit crime has generated only a limited amount of empirical information useful to AGT system planners and operators. Therefore, this guidebook attempts to establish a sound conceptual base for AGT personal security planning. Consequently, AFT personnel can follow the planning procedures presented herein, and develop a reasonably effective security program despite the current scarcity of useful transit security data. |
