R. E. Johnson Consulting specializes in services related to Automated Road Vehicles (ARVs) used for passenger transportation. ARV systems differ from Automated Highways in that ARV vehicles are captive to the system, and are owned and operated as a single fleet. For more information about ARVs, please see www.AutoRoadVehicles.com which we maintain to promote public awareness of this promising new technology. We believe that rapid advances in electronics will make ARVs the mode of choice for an increasing number of public transit and internal circulation applications that are now handled by people movers or shuttle buses. ARVs using small vehicles running in exclusive lanes are much less expensive than people movers, and provide far better service than shuttle buses. These systems would initially be very limited in extent. They could provide much higher capacity than Personal Rapid Transit by operating shared, rather than private, service.
