As part of a program for the development of new urban transportation systems, the Urban Mass Transportation Administration initiated a project for the construction and testing of 4 prototype ''Personal Rapid Transit Systems'' at Dulles International Airport in conjunction with TRANSPO '72. These 4 systems were the Bendix Dashaveyor system, the Ford Motor ACT system, the Rohr Monocab system, and the Transportation Technology TTI system. The systems were operated during TRANSPO and were subject to intensive testing in a period from August 1 to November 11, 1972. The document contains a description of the operation and organization of the test program, a description of the more significant tests, and a summary of the results to date.
