Talk:List of automated transit networks suppliers

Vandalism on numerous articles
This article and others have been the subject of vandalism by a group of IP addresses since at least as far back as April 2015. It would be wise to keep an eye open for recurrence, and for other articles affected. --David Biddulph (talk) 14:24, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

"Manufacturer" and "Supplier"
The two tables have "Manufacturer" and "Supplier" respectively. This is inconsistent and somewhat confusing. Boeing Vertol was the manufacturer for Morgantown but Alden Self-Transit Systems was the originator of the "system", that is the same role as ULTra, 2getthere and Vectus [Ultra (ARRK – Vehicle Manufacture, Laing O’Rourke – Construction), 2getthere (Spijkstaal – Chassis Manufacture, Benteler Automotive – Vehicle Assembly) and Vectus (TDI vehicles). Unless there is any objection I think it should be "Supplier / Manufacturer" on both since that information is interesting and notable. Tjej (talk) 11:08, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

change table of "List of Operational System"
I propose to change the top table of operational systems as follows. The technical differences between systems is significant and notable. I'll leave this here for comments before making the change. Tjej (talk) 03:42, 18 July 2021 (UTC)

[DRAFT] List of operational ATN systems
Currently, five advanced transit networks (ATN) systems are operational, and several more are in the planning stage.

Notes Morgantown PRT| rides not point-to-point during off peak periods Vehicle are known to carry more than the nominal capacity during peak periods. Parkshuttle | The vehicles operate on-schedule during peak hours, at a 150 second interval, and operates on demand during off-peak hours. A third generation of vehicles was introduced in 2021 with capacity to extend the route to ordinary roads with the vehicles running in mixed traffic. Plans are in place but as of July 2021 this has not taken place and there is no schedule. Masdar City | The vehicles are capable of 40 kph but are speed limited to save energy. Initial plans banned automobiles with no roadways between buildings except to access carparks. An extensive PRT network was to be the only powered intra-city transport. (along with an inter-city light rail line ) In October 2010 it was announced the PRT would not expand beyond the pilot scheme due to the cost of creating the undercroft to segregate the system from pedestrian traffic. Only a portion of the original complex has been constructed. Plans now include robotaxis and autonomous electric buses. In June 2013 a representative of the builder 2getthere said the freight vehicles had still not been put into service because they had not worked out how to get freight to and from the stations. The design included three freight stations and three freight vehicles. There is no indication the freight stations were ever opened. Heathrow PRT | The system was opened to the public in 2011 after testing began in 2009. It connects Terminal 5 with a long-term car park on the northern edge of the airport. In May 2014 a draft 5-year plan by BAA proposed to extend the system throughout the airport, but this was dropped from the final plan. During construction BAA became an investor in Ultra and became owner of rights to the system. The construction of the proposed third runway at Heathrow will require the destruction of the current system but Heathrow has announced it indents to rebuild the PRT to a new business carpark. SkyCube | Connects the site of 2013 Suncheon Garden Expo Korea to a station in the wetlands "Buffer Area" next to the Suncheon Literature Museum; the line runs parallel to the Suncheon-dong Stream. The two stations are "on-line" but have loops that allow empty vehicles depart and return immediately to the station which may be need to create space for incoming vehicles. According to the manufacturer's webpage the design headway can be 3 seconds for all-seated passengers but is 10 seconds if there are standing passengers. Another reference says the headway is 3-4 seconds. Chengdu Tianfu Airport | In 2018 it was announced that a PRT system would be installed at the new Chengdu Tianfu International Airport, to connect the terminals to long term parking. The airport open in 2021 but as of July 2021 it is not clear if the PRT has also begun operation. The terminals are connected to each other by an APM. Chengdu Tianfu Airport PRT | specifications are replicated from the Heathrow PRT pending their publication.
