| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 土木工程研究所 === 82 === During recent years, the number of vehicles have increased
rapidly in urban contex which results in many transport pro-
blems. Many advaaanced transport systems are introduced and
implemented to promote high quality public transportation such
as MRT、APM、LRT etc. Bus system and the mass rapid transit
system are the major public transport modes in metro- politan.
Due to the inherent characteristics and constraints, both modes
can't provide satisfactory service for trips with trip length
less than 7、8 kilometers, which belong to the categories of
the medium and short distance transport pro- blems. Automated
People Mover Systems(APM) are gaining propul- arily to serve
short/medium distance of trips in many countries. Different APM
systems have proved to be the solutions in many different
application. This research is to exame such APM application
cases and to explore the characteristics of APM systems
interacting with the success of implementations. APM is a
subgroup of Automated Guideway Transit Systems (AGT). It can be
operated automaticly、with almost exclusive right of way.
Monorail systems、Guideway Bus systems(GBs) and Light Rail
Transit systems(LRT) etc. are most commonly used APM systems.
The contents of this study is to: Identify the function and
technology of the variant APM systems, focusing on types of
route and characteristics of system technology, and to
summarize variant applications in many cities around diffrernt
nations. Tam Hai New Town is selected as preliminary case study
where the feasiblity of applying APM is examined with
preliminary possible alternative routes proposed.
