What if someone tampers with a vehicle, causing a breakdown in communications with the central routing system?
A. To begin with, all vehicles are monitored by onboard video surveillance cameras at all times, acting as a deterrent to such behavior. Secondly, the very moment that the central routing system loses contact with the vehicle, it is assumed to be out of control and remotely activated “stop points” on the adjacent tracks would be activated. Don’t forget…any nearby PRT vehicle also has surveillance cameras which could be employed to analyze the situation. Finally, a maintenance vehicle would be dispatched to the scene, capable of towing the target to the closest service center.
