Transit automation has grown from the use of fixed
rail to the development and piloting of on- and offroad
automated vehicles (AVs) such as robotaxis and
low-speed shuttles. Now, developers and original
equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are developing
larger traditional transit AVs, such as 30-foot buses,
which can operate alone or in platoons. New form
factors for vehicles-including automated bikes,
e-cargo utility vehicles, and wheelchairs-may also
change the nature of public and private transit.
Globally, transit has leveraged automation in rail for
years. First deployed in the Port Island Line system in
Kobe, Japan and then in the Lille Metro in northern
France, automated trains have been used across
South America, Asia, and Europe. Hawaii is poised to
start service on the first fully autonomous rail system
in the U.S. later this year.
Automated personal rapid transit has been
deployed in limited environments, such as movement
in and around airports and to adjacent areas. While
the military has been using AVs to move material and
UPDATE
passengers for some time, the
shift to commercialization began
in earnest in 2009 with the
ARIBO project, which applied
defense technology to provide
an AV shuttle to disabled
veterans and active-duty service
members at Fort Bragg.
Over the last several years,
mobility providers around the
world have trialed AVs (e.g.,
sedans, vans, and shuttles), on
and off-road, on private roads,
and the public rights-of-way.
Vehicles have included new form
factors, from purpose-built
shuttles (Figure 1) and pods to
e-cargo vehicles and
wheelchairs. Most of these pilot
programs are generally operated
at low speeds. n
