ImadeafewchangestotheinitialPrincetonNetwork,withthegoalofreducing traveltimeforshortlineofsighttripsacrosscampus.onasecondconsideration, thesechangeswouldbeimperativetothecreationofanetworkinprinceton.inmy oldnetwork,itriedtokeepcampusguidewayasclosetozeroaspossible.however, indoingso,therewereafewsituationswhereshortlineofsighttripslookedtobea fairamountlongerbecausetheguidewaywentinalooparoundcampus.thus,if adjacentstationswerenotconnectedbyguidewayintherightdirection,onewould havetoridetheentirelooptogofromonetoanother.bynotmakingthesetrips convenient(acrosscampusforinstance),weneglectalargeportionoftripswithin theuniversitythatcouldprovidesignificantrevenue Inthisnewnetwork,Idecidedtotakeadvantageoftheexistingon campus streetselmandthestreetsouthofdillongym,toprovidethedesiredaccessibility.
4 This design would probably not align with the University s ideal system, but by serving more trips and demonstrating higher profitability of this initial network, we can make the push for expansion earlier. And, with this additional revenue, we might be able to make a profit sharing agreement with the University such that we would be allowed to place some guideway on roads on campus. Rural I did not design an initial rural network, as I mainly used these to interconnect the previous two network designs. My basic strategy for rural areas was to make loops with one way guideway, and use two way guideway only to connect loops or minimize invasiveness. For an illustration, see the next page:
