Abstract
This study was conducted to determine if the UNIDOS, University Downtown Study, Group C project for computer controlled vehicles in Cleveland is feasible. Cost and revenue studies were conducted to find a range of values for each. Corresponding levels of each were compared to find the economic feasibility of the system. The political implications, and possible ways of dealing effectively with them, were presented. Many people and several companies helped in supplying information; their contributions were described in the history and bibliography of this report. Finally, the summary gave possible courses of action for UNIDOS to follow.
