  • Is the software available to play with?

  • The software is available. Click 'more info' on the right top to see the link.

    Source code is not available.

  • What a wonderful tool. Does it have the option of specifying residential, commercial and industrial areas?

    People tend to travel from residential to commercial areas in the morning and return there in the evening.

  • The user can select a circular area and adjust the rate of trips that originate from that area (generation rate: showed in video). He can also select an area and adjust the rate of trips that will end there (attraction rate).

    In addition the generation and attraction can vary with time and the user may create a scenario (called a demand program), save it in a file and simulate it using a variety of different possible networks.

  • PRT is a fantasy for cornucopians and a stalking horse for the highway industry.

  • 1)I made this simulation to prove that PRT can be reality. Do you see anything unrealistic in the simulation?

    2)If you have any experience in programming and simulations you'll understand that it took me a lot of time and effort to make this. It proves that I believe in PRT potential. I'm definitely NOT a stalking horse for the highway industry.

  • the simulator is pretty cool! takes a small amount of practice but is quite interesting

  • Fantastic! - Just need to find a municipality with a little vision and guts.

  • Thank you very much, this is really great. I am really interested in this idea and I would like to do my thesis in this subject (applied math/optimization). Now I am going to download your software and test it :)

  • Great job. I would like to talk with you.

  • I think that oil demand will exceed supply within 15 years; what do you think?

    See you on the PRT!
