Design of PRT operating system based interlocking between virtual and real environment

Abstract

Unlike existing general railways, PRT system is the new urban transit system which is operated non-stop to the destination of passengers on an on-demand basis by being operated in the method of off-line station based on operation lines in the form of complex networks. This PRT system is the new means of transportation that was proposed conceptually long time ago and is being test-operated at some sites in some foreign countries currently. In Korea also, studies on this PRT system which is the new means of transportation with a new concept were started, and this paper explains contents of design on operation system of PRT system as one of them. Especially, this paper explains contents of design on PRT operation control system through linkage of virtual environment to the real environment in accordance with the impossibility of securing physical spaces and manufacturing multiple vehicles in developing the new means of transportation.
