Downtown People Mover Demonstration Program. Impact Assessment Plan: A Guide to Local Evaluations

摘要

The purpose of the Downtown People Mover (DPM) program is to demonstrate, in the downtown setting, the feasibility of a form of automated guideway transit (AGT) technology known as Shuttle Loop Transit (SLT). The DPM program provides experience in the operation of SLT systems and serves as a basis for planning future urban applications of people mover technology. The report is a guide for the evaluation of DPM projects. Areas covered include the scope of the local evaluations, the schedule of evaluation activities, and the evaluation organization and administration. The DPM evaluations cover two basic areas of assessment: operational performance and system impacts.
