Description<br />
Specifies the acceleration in length units per unit time squared<br />
that is applied to return a guided transporter to its normal<br />
operating velocity after slowing down. The unit time is specified<br />
in the Units field.<br />
Specifies the deceleration in length units per unit time squared<br />
that is applied to brake a guided transporter when it needs to<br />
slow down or stop. The unit time is specified in the Units field.<br />
Defines the factor to be applied to a guided transporter’s velocity<br />
when it negotiates a turn. In order for slow-downs through turns<br />
to be performed automatically, directions must be defined for all<br />
network links in the network Network Name.<br />
Determines when a guided transporter controlling a zone<br />
releases it, allowing another transporter access to that zone.<br />
This field specifies the time units for the Acceleration and<br />
Deceleration entries (such as per minute squared or per hour<br />
squared).<br />
Repeat group that allows the specification of initial position. One<br />
entry may be used for each unit in the transporter set (as defined<br />
by Capacity).<br />
Determines the type of initial position for the transporter unit(s).<br />
If a free-path transporter, Default will place the transporter at the<br />
first station location specified in the Distance module Distance<br />
Set. If a guided transporter, Default will place the transporter at<br />
the first network link specified in the Network module Network<br />
Name.<br />
Name of the station for the transporter’s initial position.<br />
Defines the name of the intersection at which the guided<br />
transporter unit will be initialized.<br />
Defines the name of the network link at which the guided<br />
transporter unit will be initialized.<br />
Defines the zone number on the network link at which the guided<br />
transporter unit will be initialized.<br />
Establishes the initial status, Active or Inactive, of the<br />
transporter unit.<br />
