ANALYSIS OF POTENTIALS AND LIMITATIONS OFAUTOMATED URBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMS

摘要

Private car dependency has led to increasingly unacceptable levels of congestion andenvironment concerns, to deterioration of urban areas and social exclusion. Automated urbantransport systems (AUTS), which are already used in targeted applications, have the potentialto provide more sustainable and social-inclusive mobility. The CyberMove project is an Ecfundedproject aimed at developing, testing and disseminating AUTS technologies. This paperinvestigates the potentials and limitations of AUTS, based on reviews of the knowledge andexperience of key stakeholders and through feasibility studies and the planning processes fortest-sites in the project.
