Why is it important?
Even without input forecasrt, observation of network state and reallocation of vehicles may give real improvement.
Perspectives
The perspectives are distributed implementation of reallocation algorithm, anf further research on autonomous systems like dual mode (vehicles that may leave a netwrk and travel in city traffic with small velocity).

Distributed algorithm for empty vehicles management in personal rapid transit (PRT) network
The empty vehicle reallocation algorithm, using paremetares describing the state of the PRT network and past demand, tailored for distributed implementation. Algorithm is multi-purpose: calling vehicles for passengers, balancing the allocation, expelling jamming vehicles, withdrawing unneeded vehicles. Comparison of a performance with other algorithms
Cooperation of PRT With Ring Monorail: A Case Study
A study of cooperation of PRT network with ring monorail surrounding the city to cover urban transport demand. Analytical methods and simulation used.
Discrete Event Simulation of Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) Systems
A description of challenges of PRT simulation and the construction of the Feniks simulator
Proposed benchmarks for PRT networks simulation
The paper supports the need of establishing some reference models for the simulation of PRT networks, targeted mainly at the needs of the research on the network management algorithms. Three models of such PRT network models are proposed and discussed.
