Abstract:
Increasing traffic necessitates more efficient mobility solutions, resulting in a need for public transportation to be more attractive by shorter intervals or expansion in rural areas, leading to buses as a preferred concept, ideally autonomous ones. While successful pilot projects exist, full-scale implementation is slow to occur. The reasons for this are determined in this paper through industry workshops and structured along the bus lifecycle. Four main fields of action are identified: gaining more practical experience and reliable data basis, increasing the technical maturity of components, establishing regulatory standards, and developing (digital) systems for the communication between stakeholders within the system and the related management of data.
