Remote Control Module of Vertical Lift for the Personal Rapid Transit(PRT) Vehicle

초록

The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system has the features of its on-demand and optimized door-to-door transport capability. To offer more flexible and better compatible urban mobility solutions between means of transportation, the vertical transfer method for the PRT vehicle is proposed. Operational test of the vertical lift interlocked with operation control system was performed on a testbed in the Korea Railroad Research Institute(KRRI). Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) dedicated for the PRT vertical lift was designed to interface with Operation Control Center (OCC) by Modbus TCP over Ethernet.
