Developing and Performance Evaluation of an Advanced Electric Micro Bus Transportation System Report No.2: An Advanced on-Demand Bus System for the WEB

摘要

An advanced on-demand bus system has been developed for regional public transportation using the WEB as a part of NEDO's project. The on-demand system utilizes advanced ITS and associated technologies including a driver navigation system responding to demands by operations on passengers' mobile phones and a bus running simulator for best routing. On-road proving tests were carried out using the WEB in Honjo city, Saitama prefecture to evaluate the system in terms of reliability and convenience for passengers' mobility.
