Prepared by the Automated People Mover Standards Committee of the
Standards Council of the Transportation and Development Institute
of ASCE. Automated People Mover Standards, ANSI/ASCE/T&DI
21-13, establishes the minimum requirements necessary to achieve an
acceptable level of safety and performance for an automated people
mover (APM) system. An APM is defined as a guided transit mode that
is fully automated, featuring vehicles that operate on guideways
with exclusive right-of-way. This Standard covers design,
construction, operation, and maintenance of APM systems. This fully
updated revision consolidates all four parts of ASCE 21 that
previously were published separately. Topics include: operating
environment; safety requirements; system dependability; automatic
train control; audio and visual communications; vehicles;
propulsion and braking; electrical equipment; stations; guideways;
security; emergency preparedness; verification and demonstration;
operations, maintenance, and training; and operational monitoring.
One mandatory annex covers requirements for system safety programs.
Nonmandatory annexes include a bibliography, recommended practice
for acceptance of an APM system application; inspection and test
guidelines; and recommended practice for working safely near APM
systems. This Standard may be used in a safety certification
process. It will be helpful to anyone who owns, operates, maintains
designs, test, insures, oversees, or certifies APMs. It will also
be valuable to transportation engineers, safety engineers, and
contractors for APM systems or other innovative technology transit
systems.

Just as our transport systems become more and more important to our
economic and social well-being, so they become more and more
crowded and more at risk from congestion, disruption, and collapse.
Technology and engineering can provide part of the solution, but
the complete solution will need to take account of the behaviour of
the users of the transport networks.
The role of psychologists in this is to understand how people
make decisions about the alternative modes of transport and about
the alternative routes to their destinations, to understand how
novice and other vulnerable users can develop safe and effective
behaviours, how competent users can operate within the transport
system optimally and within their perceptual and cognitive
limitations.
The contributions to this volume address these issues of how the
use of our transport systems can be improved by taking into account
knowledge of the behaviour of the people who use the systems.
Topics discussed include driver training and licensing, driver
impairment, road user attitudes and behaviour, enforcement and
behaviour change, driver support systems, and the psychology of
mobility and transport mode choice.
This work will be of value not only to psychologists but to all
transport professionals interested in the application of psychology
to traffic.
