Description:
Can the world's newest transport technology fit into one of the world's
most historic cities?
Advanced Transport Systems Ltd. is offering designers around the world
the chance to become involved in the design of ULTra Personal Rapid
Transit, as part of the CIVITAS Renaissance Project investigating
sustainable transport options in historic cities.
The competition entails the design of vehicles, stations, guideway,
and other infrastructure design elements; participants can choose
to address any or all of these elements. Entries will be judged based
on their feasibility, aesthetics, and originality. Many of the submitted
designs will be presented as part of a public & stakeholder feedback
process; these designs -- and the responses to them -- will be incorporated
into our final report to the EU. A smaller number of winning designs
will be selected by a panel of judges; these will receive international
exposure in the media, the EU project dissemination process, and the
Advanced Transport Systems website.

feedback process, or selected by the judging panel, this offers the
possibility for significant international exposure.
