PRT at Resorts
Car-free resorts and resort towns warrant their scenic character and ensure a better guest experience – also contributing to protect the local nature and ensuring a (noise and air) pollution free and tranquil environment. As the need for transportation remains, and space is a valuable commodity, a system allowing for shared usage of small automated vehicles (PRT) is well suited as a solution.
The PRT system offers high quality transportation matching the personal character and quality of the car (privacy and available at any time). At the same time it avoids its’ space consumption, by eliminating the need to create parking spaces both at the different resort facilities and at the villas/bungalows. The Personal Rapid Transit system interconnects all facilities and provides guests with direct connections.
The electronic guidance allows for the system to be implemented at grade, minimizing the visual intrusion and ensuring the character of the resort remains undisturbed. The small foot print ensures it is easily integrated in the spatial planning. Capital costs are kept minimal as the system only requires a basic and simple infrastructure. Optionally the routing of the PRT system could also connect to other nearby locations; a town, other resorts, beaches and/or activity centers.
