| Abstract | The Advanced Group Rapid Transit (AGRT) program is developing the basic technologies of a system that would accommodate the peak-hour passenger demands of medium-density urban areas yet provide dispersed origin-to-destination service without transfers. It is not intended to develop a complete deployable system. More effort would be required before this could occur. This program review addresses the AGRT program and technology currently under development. The major objectives of the review were to define the present status of the program and to clarify the expected results. This was accomplished by compiling and analyzing available information about the AGRT development program and determining (1) the status of the AGRT program, (2) the technical and economic feasibility of the AGRT systems as presently defined, (3) the potential for applying AGRT-developed technology to other transit systems, and (4) the potential for applying magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) and propulsion technology to Automated Guideway Transit (AGT) and AGRT systems. |
