| dc.description.abstract | This paper contains an overview of recent and current work in the M.I.T. Theory of Distributed Systems research group on modelling, verifying and analyzing problems arising in automated transit systems. The problems we consider are inspired by design work in Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) project at Raytheon (as described to us by Toy Johnson, Steve Spielman and Norm Delisle), and in the California PATH project (as described to us by Shankar Sastry, Datta Godbole and John Lygeros) [7, 6,13, 3]. | en_US |
