| Abstract | FTA has conducted research on conceptual ideas, prototypes, and commercially available products related to automated vehicle technologies for transit bus operations. The emerging automated transit bus market has received enthusiastic media coverage, but stakeholders may not clearly understand the difference between conceptual ideas, prototype systems, and available products. To help align expectations with reality and assist in transit agency planning, this market assessment report conveys the state of automated transit bus technology in terms of its availability, capabilities, and limitations. It aims to inform the Federal Transit Administration, transit agencies, and other transit industry stakeholders interested in understanding the market. This market assessment considers automation at all levels and a broad definition of transit bus, including a range of passenger capacities and both traditional and novel vehicle designs. This report references company and product names, but they are included only for illustrative purposes and do not represent an endorsement. A 2-page Report Summary is included on the Supporting Files tab. This report is a July 2020 update to the previous report (FTA Report No. 0144; DOT-VNTSC-FTA-19-03) published in October 2019. This revised version includes an addendum that was added to the end of the document. |
