It is difficult to organize urban transport in a city center. Existing buildings, narrow streets and operating infrastructure make it difficult to let old-fashion transport means like tram or bus. In the paper, a raised transport consisting of ring monorail and commuter PRT network are analyzed. The proposed solution consists of fast ring railway called “monorail” and PRT (personal rapid transit) network serving as side roads. These two transportation means form a hierarchically layered system. It is shown on an case of an exemplary city that the proposed solution is possible and reasonable. A ridership of the whole system is obtained: for monorail by analytical calculations and for PRT by simulation.

Zorganizowanie transportu miejskiego w centrum miasta nie jest prostą sprawą. Istniejące budynki, wąskie ulice i działająca infrastruktura utrudniają funkcjonowanie tradycyjnych środków transportu jak tramwaj czy autobus. W artykule przeanalizowano użycie transportu wyniesionego powyżej poziomu gruntu, składającego się z szybkiej lekkiej kolei zwanej „monorail” i systemu PRT (Personal Rapid Transit) służącego jako sieć dojazdowa. Te dwa środki transportu tworzą hierarchię warstw systemu. W artykule pokazano na przykładzie typowego miasta, że zaproponowane rozwiązanie jest możliwe i sensowne. Wyznaczono przepustowość całego systemu: dla kolei analitycznie a dla PRT przez symulację.
