100 gest that 25 – 30 % of current car users would be prepared to transfer to an ULTra system. It is also a system which is complementary to existing forms of public transport. By providing a network link, it can improve the attractiveness of existing modes. Evaluations show that ULTra can be integrated into the urban environment at densities which provide a useful service but also minimise adverse impacts. In particular, the use of existing transport rights of way allows a significant proportion of track to be placed at grade, with little added severance, thereby providing cost and visual intrusion benefits. Studies show that ULTra can provide an immediate benefit for use on routes being considered for tram systems. It is projected to be financially viable. Evaluation of overall economic benefits following NATA principles indicates a Benefit to Cost ratio of 6.2. The system has many novel features for urban transport that relate directly to improving the quality of urban life. It is currently undergoing engineering tests with a view to first application in Cardiff in 2005. Further details can be found at www.atsltd.co.uk. References 1 Thomson, J M.

Einar Flydal (53) is Senior Adviser working with corporate strategy at the Telenor headquarters. He is cand.polit. from the Univ. of Oslo (UiO), 1983, in political science, and Master of Telecom Strategy from the Univ. of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim, 2002. Apart from 1985–1993, when working with IT in education and with small IT companies, Flydal has worked with Telenor in a variety of fields since 1983. He has also worked as radio freelancer on minorities and music, on statistical indicators at the Chair of Peace and Conflict Research, and on work organisation on oil platforms at the Work Research Institute, Oslo. His present professional interests are environment, CSR, innovation, and ICT. einar.flydal@telenor.com Erik Bach (33) is Research Scientist in Telenor R&D with a background within social anthropology from the University of Oslo. In Telenor R&D he is currently working on self regulating systems like Peer-to-Peer computing. Bach is mostly involved with the social aspects of ICT systems. As a part of R&D’s research projects he is analysing disruptive technologies and their impact for Telenor as an ICT supplier. Besides his engagement in Telenor, Bach is a partner in Kulturstudier INC, which promotes academic studies in India and Vietnam. erik.bach@telenor.com Telektronikk 1.2003 PRT – Personal Rapid Transport – and a Telenor Involvement EINAR FLYDAL, ERIK BACH, ERIK FENSTAD, JAN ERIK HAGELUND, UNNI HALLERAKER, JAN ORSTEEN, DAG SANNE AND ERLING WIIK Telenor, the incumbent telco and an ICT corporation, is at the time of writing active in forming a consortium to prequalify for a PPP (public private partnership) contract, actively seeking to solve the special technologial and other challenges to be solved to have a PRT system built in the area. Why? A group of Telenor employees on a Master’s degree study in telecom strategy 2001–2002 used their project work within ITS (Intelligent Transport Systems) to carry out an analysis of the PRT concept and its feasibility, and to explore the business opportunities involved. Also, in parallel and close cooperation, a feasability study for the construction and operation of a PRT system in the Lysaker – Fornebu area was carried out for the Telenor management. This paper presents the main findings and the present status of the two projects as of October 2002. The authors were engaged in one or both of them. The Case: An Automatic Elevated Public Transport System to be Built The Lysaker area (see Figure 1) is a bottleneck along the so-called West corridor in/out of Oslo, with offices housing about 20,000 employees in a compact belt along the motorway. Public transportation in the area, as well as on the attached peninsula, was since long a concern for the public authorities. In 1996 these daily jams also became relevant to Telenor, as Telenor decided to build its new headquarter on the peninsula: There, on the site of the old Oslo airport, Fornebu, the ambitions are to develop an ICT industrial center and a new dwelling area. Telenor has now moved in. A transportation solution was of course a prerequisite and Telenor has been an active partner to the authorities in finding environmentally friendly transport solutions untill a rail-based public transport system is operative in 2006. For the businesses involved as well as for the local and regional government, the ambitions have been high as to giving the entire development a profile of being innovative and environmentally friendly. The development of the Fornebu area has thus represented a unique opportunity to bring forward innovation in all areas and levels, and still does. Correspondingly, the regulating authorities have demanded the development to be “environmentally sustainable”; i.e. strong measures should be taken to avoid pollution and to find energy saving means. There has been, and still is, extensive cooperation between the public authorities and the local property developers, employers and property owners to develop good solutions for the area. As the first large employer moving into the area, Telenor easily gets the role of locomotive in this process.
