Abstrakt: Since 2012, more than 200 undergraduate and graduate students, mostly from San José State University, but including other domestic and international institutions, have been driving innovation in the development of solar-powered automated transit networks (ATNs) through the Spartan Superway project. Functional models at full and partial scales of a solar-powered, suspended-vehicle ATN have been constructed and demonstrated in public exhibitions. Research and development continues toward developing a fully-operational test track as well as planning for implementation in the Silicon Valley. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
