Automated Shuttle Characteristics
• Low speed roadways <25mph
• Lane change difficult
• Left turns difficult
• Not all weather for snow/fog
• Need better location accuracy (Use UWB positioning)
• ADA being addressed
• Some bi-directional vendors
• Vendors done with demonstrations – buy/lease only
• Long lead time (3months to 1 year)
![Page 10: “Next Stop …the Future” · Automated Buses in Transit. Game Changers •Automated Shuttles ... • Revenue from 3rd party use of guideway • Extension to at-grade service to](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022050417/5f8d2a32a4ab834d780fd5ec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
USDOT Standards Work
• Establish a standard data exchange interface that is interoperable across all deployment locations and vehicle vendors.
• Establish standards for procurement, including demonstrated vehicle performance and data sharing requirements.
• Develop a set of automated vehicle operational testing and evaluation standards to benchmark the selected vendors.
• Develop a methodology for evaluating the operational safety of the system in various deployment settings.
