Implementing Automated Road Transport Systems in Urban Settings

Government officials, researchers, and transportation practitioners require real-world data and analysis in their efforts to bring automated and intelligent transport systems into the mainstream. Implementing Automated Road Transport Systems in Urban Settings provides this valuable, objective, often difficult-to-obtain data, gleaned from the largest demonstration project on automated road transport systems (ARTS) in the world to date. The book features chapters authored by those deeply involved in CityMobil2 - providing an easily accessible, cross-referenced resource for data and information on each aspect of the project. Chapters cover vehicle technical specifications, infrastructure analysis, operating systems, and future scenario analysis, as well as automated and conventional vehicle comparisons. Implementing Automated Road Transport Systems in Urban Settings examines the project's field tests, showing the technology's adaptability and different requirements based on geographic location. The book also explains the legal frameworks for system implementation. The CityMobil2 demonstration transported more than 60,000 passengers in seven European cities, providing immense amounts of feedback and data to be analyzed. Implementing Automated Road Transport Systems in Urban Settings provides international expert opinion on this real-world data, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of the project, as well as providing comparisons to both past and planned ARTS demonstration initiatives. The technical specifications developed from the project will help cities considering similar ARTS initiatives. Presents real-world data and valuable analysis from CityMobil2, the world's largest demonstration project on automated road transport systems (ARTS)Assists policy makers seeking to implement their own ARTS, providing technical specifications, infrastructure analysis, as well as legal considerationsCompanion website features links to CityMobil2 demonstration videos, as well as links to detailed project documentsPresents findings from CityMobil2, such as effects on daily trips per capita, average journey distance, and occupancy rate, and how they can affect the development of future ARTS projectsProvides future ARTS scenario analysis, with information on planned, similar demonstrations INDICE: 1.
