===Concerns about PRT research=== Wayne D. Cottrell of the [[University of Utah]] conducted a critical review of PRT academic literature since the 1960s. He concluded that there are several issues that would benefit from more research, including urban integration, risks of PRT investment, bad publicity, technical problems, and competing interests from other transport modes. He suggests that these issues, "while not unsolvable, are formidable," and that the literature might be improved by better introspection and criticism of PRT. He also suggests that more government funding is essential for such research to proceed, especially in the United States.<ref>{{cite conference | last=Cottrell | first=Wayne D | conference=Automated People Movers 2005: Moving to Mainstream |title=Critical Review of the Personal Rapid Transit Literature | publisher=ASCE | date=May 1β4, 2005| journal = Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Automated People Movers | pages=1β14 | doi=10.1061/40766(174)40 | isbn=978-0-7844-0766-0 }}</ref>
