feasibility studies

If you believe that a Minitram system may provide a solution to your transport needs, please contact us straight away. We will be pleased to visit your town/city to understand your requirements first hand, make a presentation of the Minitram technology and discuss a methodology for taking the project forward. 

In most cases, the next step will be to undertake a feasibility study. Typically, this will involve the following process and enable our project team to provide you with a fully budgeted proposal for designing and implementing a complete Minitram system: 

  • receive project brief (if available) or generate brief though a series of workshops with client project team and stakeholders
  • identify and survey potential transit routes c
  • onsider environmental and traffic planning issues
  • understand operational and budgetary constraints
  • model route profiles, passenger usage/revenue forecasts
  • define vehicle performance specification
  • define potential infrastructure and civil engineering requirements
  • develop and illustrate conceptual scheme - may involve a number of options
  • identify capital and whole life costing models
  • deliver recommendations/project proposal
