Podaris:Plan

Automated Transit Network Planning

Plan Personal Rapid Transit networks using dedicated infrastructure

What are Automated Transit Networks?

Automated Transit Networks (ATNs) — which can also be known as Personal Rapid Transit (PRT), Group Rapid Transit (GRT), or Podcars — are a class of transport which involve demand-responsive driverless vehicles running on custom segregated infrastructure.
‍
Podaris helps with the development of ATNs by:

Creating vendor-specific parametric models to accurately plan infrastructure right-of-ways, performance characteristics, and cost models of different ATN suppliers.
Modelling spatial accessibility based on demand-responsive systems.
Modelling multimodal connectivity, since ATNs are generally planned as feeder/distributor systems in the context of other modes.

Powering ATN suppliers worldwide
