The first pilot system of PRT(Personal Rapid Transit) was developed and tested on the network of roads constructed on the grounds of the KRRI (Korea Railroad Research Institute). In particular, the detailed design and implementation of the individual components(i.e., vehicle, operation control, infrastructure, and power transfer) consisting of a PRT system as well as the operability-based system integration were achieved based on the results of investigations last year. In addition, the design criterion for target specifications was validated by preliminary numerical studies on the structural integrity, the running stability and the thermal performance of a vehicle. The analysis results will be dedicated for improvement of the next pilot vehicle.
The navigation control algorithm was modified to enhance the performance of the magnetic sensing ruler (MSR). Also, The navigation control system was improved for its interface design with the operation conrol center(OCC), and its performance was tested on the pilot network. In addition, the 3D virtual emulator was presented to verify the feasibility of fleet operations of multiple PRT vehicles in a more extended network. The target specification of various types of infrastructure as well as the laws and regulations designated for Korean PRT system were updated, and the adequacy was thoroughly reviewed in a physical and economic perspective. The vertical lift of non-continuous type was also revised, and the operational test of the device interlocked with a vehicle operation control system was performed on the pilot network. In addition, the vertical lift of continuous type was proposed and designed based on investigations into the existing technologies.
Furthermore, the wireless charging(i.e., Pick-up) and energy converting(i.e., Regulator and DC-DC Converter) devices based on inductive Power Transfer (IPT) were modified and tested on a system level. The energy simulator was also modified to reflect the energy system configuration characteristics of the PRT vehicle (the combination of a wireless power supply and an ultracapacitor) and the design data of the vehicle, such as the size and weight.
