W
HEN THE JACKSONVILLE TRANSPORTAtion Authority (JTA) learned the technology
in its Skyway Automated People Mover (APM)
was becoming obsolete, the authority considered the possibility of converting the Skyway
system to support autonomous vehicles (AVs).
An advisory committee was formed, which led
to the decision to keep, modernize and expand
the current system by using AVs-the most cost-effective solution that satisfied all program requirements,
such as ensuring a similar problem couldn't happen in
the future with the technology becoming obsolete and
instead allowing the system to be vehicle agnostic.
With the decision to keep and expand the current
Skyway system, the Ultimate Urban Circulator (U2C)
Program was born. The U2C will integrate emerging
technology with existing infrastructure and assets, and
will provide high-frequency, accessible, flexible and extended service both on the elevated infrastructure and
at street level. By the end of the four-phase project, a
10-mile system will utilize AVs to travel through the
downtown core of Jacksonville, Fla., to interconnect various neighborhoods.
