ABSTRACT
The means of transport classified into this category operate in an exclusive corridor by using, either individual vehicles, with a capacity of 3-25 persons, or low-and medium-transport capacity trains (50-250 persons, standing and seated). They are automated ( driverless systems) and their rolling system includes at least one iron element (steel wheels on rails or rubber-tyred wheels on steel guideway). They belong to the general category of automated transport modes on ‘fixed right-of-way’ (automated guideway transit, AGT), which also includes higher capacity systems (e.g., driverless metro, monorail) (ACRP Report 37, 2010; Wikipedia, 2015c).
