Personal Rapid Transit Networks and Demands

Training and evaluation networks and demands used in: [1] John D. Lees-Miller. "Empty Vehicle Redistribution for Personal RapidTransit." Ph.D. thesis, University of Bristol, 2011. http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.649440 Each folder contains a test network and one or more demand matrices. The naming convention for folders is__for synthentic systems (e.g. grid) and_for case study systems (e.g. corby_cm). The delay is added to the basic shortestpath trip times to ensure that the strict triangle inequality holds. Each system has: trip_times_annotated.txt: station-to-station trip times in seconds; each origin is a row, and each column is a destination demand_matrix_annotated_name.txt: station-to-station demand in passenger tripsper hour (unless otherwise noted; some case studies have been scaled to reflectaverage occupancy estimates and/or mode perceived capacity limitations); each origin is a row, and each column is a destination name.graphml: the network; nodes with labels are stations; locations are inmeters (because the earth is approximately flat); speeds are in meters persecond (usually assumed to be 10m/s, because detailed speed profiles were notusually available) The files in emat20005 are in the format for the "ATS/CityMobil Simulator", aproprietary simulator available from ULTra Global PRT (www.ultraglobalprt.com).They are zip files that contain an XML file with the network and demand data.These data were extracted to produce the test* systems. These networks weregenerated as part of a student project, as described in [1].
