Presents a general model of a rapid transit system with automatic train control and automatic train protection (ATC/ATP). It has been used to study potential transit technologies, track layouts and block designs for ATC/ATP for the Miami State Road 836 East-West Multimodal Corridor Study Alternatives Analysis (AA). Results of the study have been used in a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (AA/DEIS) and a preliminary engineering report. The purpose of the "screening level" analysis presented in this paper is to propose a few technologically sound, cost-effective public transit technologies that can be carried forward into the conceptual design process, allowing further analysis of technology and alignment options as additional information is generated.
