The Podcar Way : hur kan spårtaxi integreras i en urban miljö?

Abstract: A new system of public transportation that can simplify and shorten the trips made throughout the city, anddo that both cheap and environment-friendly. Sounds like good news. This new system, though, require anall new type of infrastructure, differing from what we are used to see in our cities. Podcar, or PRT, as thesystem is called can become a transport revolution, possibly. If that revolution does happen it is crucial that webeforehand have studied the possible effects it can cause on our city environment, from a spatial point of view.This thesis thoroughly describes the function and essence of the PRT system and presents what is availabletoday and in what forms. By planning a PRT system in Gothenburg a discussion is continuously carried aboutwhat problems may arise, what possibilities are at hand and how an addition of this new system can be madein a functional and attractive way, if possible.
