| description | A new system of public transportation that can simplify and shorten the trips made throughout the city, and
do that both cheap and environment-friendly. Sounds like good news. This new system, though, require an
all new type of infrastructure, differing from what we are used to see in our cities. Podcar, or PRT, as the
system is called can become a transport revolution, possibly. If that revolution does happen it is crucial that we
beforehand 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 available
today and in what forms. By planning a PRT system in Gothenburg a discussion is continuously carried about
what problems may arise, what possibilities are at hand and how an addition of this new system can be made
in a functional and attractive way, if possible. ************ |

Det låter som en god nyhet. Det nya systemet innebär dock en helt ny typ av infrastruktur som är helt olikt vad vi är vana vid i en stad. Spårtaxi, eller PRT, som systemet kallas kan komma att revolutionera hur vi reser, om det vet vi inte. Men om den revolutionen sker behöver vi innan ha studerat vilken påverkan det kan komma att få rumsligt och arkitektoniskt på vår omgivning. Denna uppsats beskriver genomgående PRT-systemets funktion och inventerar vad som finns tillgängligt idag och i vilka skepnader. Genom att sedan planera in ett PRT-system i Göteborg förs en kontinuerlig diskussion om vilka problem som uppstår, vilka möjligheter som finns och hur en integrering i stadsbilden kan ske på ett fungerande och tilltalande sätt, i den mån det anses möjligt. 2010-04-13 Second cycle, A2E NonPeerReviewed application/pdf eng https://stud.epsilon.slu.se/1027/1/Larsson_P_100413.pdf Larsson, Petter E, 2010.
