Presentation

Transforming autonomous transit: lessons learned from real-world ART operations

Explore the future of autonomous transit with our autonomous rapid transit (ART) system, as we explore its real-world applications in enhancing transportation services for airports and public transit. We will share several ART operations utilizing full-size buses and ADA-compliant vehicles, alongside an innovative ART airport people mover project that integrates electric buses and a vehicle management platform. We will discuss the implementation process and lessons learned in adopting these solutions. Join us and uncover how ART offers faster deployment and reduced total costs while meeting safety requirements, making it a game-changer for the autonomous transit market.
