PRT Simulation

Aug 3, 2007 - Very interesting, did you write it?

Xithalis Says:

Aug 4, 2007 - Yes I did. It's written in the Java programming language, it is free and available for download at my site (see more info on video header top right) for anyone interested.

Aug 21, 2007 - PRT is a fantasy for cornucopians and a stalking horse for the highway industry.

Xithalis Says:

Aug 22, 2007 - 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.

Sep 10, 2007 - I think that oil demand will exceed supply within 15 years; what do you think?See you on the PRT!

Oct 3, 2007 - But PRTs reduce polution by allowing people to use electric instead of gasline vehicles and by preventing all the spillage that occurs with the widespread distribution of oil and gasoline. Sure it takes fuel to generate power for PRTs but, that fuel can go straight from the refinery to the power plant. PRT is already working in many places so it's not a fantasy either. If, by 2020, the cost of gas exceeds $10/gal and we haven't built PRTs, you'll be wishing we had.

Dec 9, 2007 - 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.

Dec 10, 2007 - 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.

Apr 11, 2008 - I love it! My grandfather is the creator of taxi 2000/SkyWeb express and hopefully will get it lunched and running very soon. You did a great job.

Apr 23, 2008 - 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 :)

Jun 2, 2008 - Fantastic! - Just need to find a municipality with a little vision and guts.

pslebow Says:

Jun 2, 2008 - Is the software available to play with?

Xithalis Says:

Jun 3, 2008 - The software is available. Click 'more info' on the right top to see the link.Source code is not available.

Feb 9, 2010 - the simulator is pretty cool! takes a small amount of practice but is quite interesting
