PRT 차량 개발을 위한 기술적 구현 가능성 연구

초록

The personal rapid transit (PRT) is defined as a new transportation system that can provide passengers with immediate on-demand transport via optimized route planning without time delays. In particular, the Korean PRT system is developed by employing the guidance control based on magnetic-markers reference sensing and the inductive power transfer (IPT)？supercapacitor energy supply system for extended application as well as enhanced efficiency. The magnetic makers-based approach is very simple to construct a track and economically efficient. In addition, the IPT？supercapacitor combination does not require independently exposed power feeding lines, so that it enables to make harmonious connections on streets with mixed traffic. In this study, the operational experiments using a test vehicle (i.e., modified golf-cart) on pilot basis are conducted to evaluate the technical feasibility of core technologies as well as to identify user requirements in an early stage
