In a full-scale test facility, 84 vehicles operated at speeds up to convert on a convert guideway; one-second headways were achieved during tests.

It also simplifies the guideway, makes junctions less visually obtrusive and reduces the impact of malfunctions, because a failed switch on one vehicle is less likely to affect other vehicles.

Most designs enclose the running gear in the guideway to prevent derailments.

Most designs use the guideway to distribute power and data communications, including to the vehicles.

Most energy use occurs on highways, so small, elevated guideways would inductively power highway use and recharge batteries for off-guideway use.

Operational characteristics Headway distance Spacing of vehicles on the guideway influences the maximum passenger capacity of a track, so designers prefer smaller headway distances.

PRT is a type of automated guideway transit (AGT), a class of system which also includes larger vehicles all the way to small subway systems.
