scope:

This Report gives guidance on a system structure so that a harmonized approach for decomposing a Guided Transport System (GTS) into its elements and sub-elements can be achieved. It defines the main elements, their attributes and describes the contents of the attributes and also of the elements. A numbering convention is recommended for indexing of the GTS specification and attributes. It is not applicable to any other aspects of GTS specification such as feasibility studies or project management activities or the fields of finance, programme, terms and conditions and other contractual matters. Lifts, escalators and travelators as well as systems dependent on aerial cableways for support are not included as Guided Transport Systems.
