Feasibility of Personal rapid transit system for connecting Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel international airport to Kalupur railway station in Ahmedabad

Abstract

An ever-increasing growth in the urban areas has put up a new challenge in the domain of urban
transportation. The complexity of the problem is enhanced by the limitations in the option available, space available,
their inter-relationships and also the ease with which these options serve to cater to the present requirements.
Meanwhile as the world is becoming smaller and smaller, the urgency to communicate, travel and transport faster is
growing by leaps and bounds. Technology on one hand is acting as a catalyst in this process and on the other hand is
providing with solutions to cater to this process. Urban transportation with all its complexities and challenges has
attracted the interest of planners and engineers to seek solutions. One such solution is PRT (i.e. Personal Rapid
Transit) which has proved promising as a solution to the problem stated above. This Study PRTS which is
development in technology and prospect in developing nation like India provide feasibility to city like Ahmadabad
