“…The difference between the formulations PRT(1) and PRT(2) lies on substituting constraints (4) and (5) by constraints (12), which expresses that there is no infeasible sequence in the solution. Clearly, (12) results in a considerable number of constraints.…”

“…Furthermore, the European Commission had allocated an important fund that lasted from 2001 to 2005, in order to promote PRT research. Despite the positive assessment using the PRT, no project has been built until 2009 ( [12]). Nowadays, several PRT systems have been built and became operational.…”

“…The custom-designed FRT vehicles will share the same tracks with the PRT, but will have dedicated FRT logistics stations for loading and unloading of goods and waste containers [19]. Such an integrated passenger and freight system application is not commonly considered by most PRT proposals (Cotrell [20]). The FRT station design uses two to three berths in series as deliveries are less time-critical and the expected demand for freight does not necessitate a more space-intensive parallel berth layout.…”

SUMMARYMasdar City a zero-emission model city, is implementing a fully automated on-demand personal rapid transit (PRT) system for its intracity transportation needs. The car-sized electric vehicles will run on an underground road network transporting passengers and freight throughout the city. A discrete-event PRT simulation model (miPRT) is built to support the design and implementation of the first city application of this innovative system. Through simulation, we estimate the impact of different vehicle allocation algorithms, battery charging strategies and vehicle occupancy rates and anticipate the system's behavior under stress loads to rate its capacity limitations under travel demand surges due to special events as well as track close-down scenarios. The simulation model assists in improving fleet utilization, energy consumption, and overall system costs. Beyond the specifics of this implementation, this paper provides a tool for testing wider adoption of the PRT concept.

“…A literature review published in 2005 [9] states that there is more than 200 research papers related to ATN. More recently, several operational and strategic optimization studies related to ATN were published such as network design [25], station design [24], dynamic routing [4][13], simulation [14], [7] energy minimization [22], passengers waiting time [20] total traveled distance [12][15], eet size [5], optimized operational planning [6][11] and so on.…”

Part 5: Industrial Management and Other ApplicationsInternational audienceThis paper presents the development of the multi depot one-to-one pickup and delivery problem with distance constraints problem. This problem involve routing vehicles in a multi depot network topology to satisfy a set of pickup and delivery requests subject to a maximum allowable distance constraint. A problem definition is given and a real world application is proposed for that problem. An approximate solution approach which divides the problem into several subproblems and solve them to optimality is also proposed. Computational experiments show that the proposed solution approach reach good quality solutions is a reasonable computational time
