The most significant advances over the last 15 years relative to the dynamic problems of aerial guideways are summarized. Emphasized are guideways with steel supporting flexural members, designed for the exclusive right‐of‐way of a particular type of vehicle: Steel wheel‐on‐rail, rubber tire or airlevitated. Nondimensional parameters characterizing guideway‐vehicle interactions are catalogued and related to recent designs and current design practice. The role of structural dynamic analysis and the need for further research in the control of both passenger ride quality and airborne noise radiating from elevated guideways are discussed.
