Low-Speed Automated Shuttles: State of the Practice Final Report
The U.S. Department of Transportation Volpe Center has released a report that defines design and service characteristics of low-speed automated shuttles. It also identifies the deployers, their motivations, and their partners; and provides information on demonstrations and deployments, both international and domestic. This report also explores several research questions on topics ranging from safety and accessibility to user acceptance and societal impacts of low-speed automated shuttles. These vehicles share many characteristics with other forms of automated vehicles but include unique considerations in terms of design, operations, and service type.
