Personal Rapid Transit in Masdar City, Abu Dhabi Josie Miller, Mason Loth, and Noah Gibson

What is Masdar City? A planned zero-emission city in Abu Dhabi Powered through solar energy Encourages walking/biking For farther than walking distances, there will be a Personal Rapid Transit system http://thewondrous.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/masdar_plaza_lava_01.jpg http://www.masdar.ae/assets/downloads/content/970/factsheet-masdar_city.pdf

What is Personal Rapid Transit? Individual, independently- powered pods Pods run on tracks, guided by magnets Transports customers on demand Run on lithium phosphate batteries 60 kilometers on 1.5 hour charge http://www.2getthere.eu/wp-content/gallery/masdar/Passengers-boarding-PRT-vehicle-at-MIST-station.jpg http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sgouris_Sgouridis/publication/230546031_Simulationbased_analysis_of_personal_rapid_transit_systems_service_and_energy_performance_assessment_of_the_Masdar_City_PRT_case/links/53e228780cf2235f352c1399.pdf

Implementation in Masdar City http://images.fastcompany.com/upload/1_1.jpg Pod design Carries four adults and 2 children Berth design Docking hubs Underground network Doesn’t disrupt pedestrian traffic Allows for more room http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sgouris_Sgouridis/publication/230546031_Simulationbased_analysis_of_personal_rapid_transit_systems_service_and_energy_performance_assessment_of_the_Masdar_City_PRT_case/links/53e228780cf2235f352c1399.pdf

Battery management Fully battery operated Costly Adds Weight Different Recharge options: Depot charging Charging station faster recharging for short station stops Vehicle stores current battery charge in kWh http://edenison.zenfolio.com/img/s3/v38/p1003034296-3.jpg http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sgouris_Sgouridis/publication/230546031_Simulationbased_analysis_of_personal_rapid_transit_systems_service_and_energy_performance_assessment_of_the_Masdar_City_PRT_case/links/53e228780cf2235f352c1399.pdf

Benefits of PRT Electrically powered, zero carbon to operate Fully automated Underground Reduces traffic and congestion Increased Safety: features advanced obstacle detection program Short waiting times Decreased travel times Increased accessibility and convenience http://www.adacblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/IMG_0605.jpg http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sgouris_Sgouridis/publication/230546031_Simulationbased_analysis_of_personal_rapid_transit_systems_service_and_energy_performance_assessment_of_the_Masdar_City_PRT_case/links/53e228780cf2235f352c1399.pdf

Drawbacks of PRT Complex Lack of investors No previous experience New technology Full reliance on technology Possibility of system crashes Passengers cannot change their route http://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sgouris_Sgouridis/publication/230546031_Simulationbased_analysis_of_personal_rapid_transit_system s_service_and_energy_performance_assessment_of_the_Masdar_City_PRT_case/links/53e228780cf2235f352c1399.pdf
