problem_statement: The Urban Light Transport (ULTra) project is concerned with the development of an on-demand transport system of driver-less taxis running on their own dedicated guideway network. The network consists of a number of stations together with a collection of one-way guideways linking them up. The Study Group was asked to develop a tool that when given the user demand, locations of the stations, the costs of building and the time taken to travel along all potential links, determines which links to include in the network. The objectives are to balance the bene t to users, in terms of convenience, with the construction cost, and to satisfy topological constraints determined by engineering considerations.
