The JTA is currently working with local colleges, medical campuses, and other partners to create the nation’s first public transportation network powered by autonomous vehicles.
The partners will introduce their first service available to the public in Arlington, Texas, in partnership with the City of Arlington and University of Texas at Arlington.
It is the first publicly-funded autonomous electric shuttle transportation pilot and test of driverless technology in Virginia.
The specification combines APTA’s white book for standard bus specification with the new full-size bus automated driving system requirements developed by AECOM, which formed the Automated Bus Consortium.
The Olli 2.0 was delivered to Jacksonville in late August through a partnership with Beep, a Florida-based autonomous MaaS provider, digital vehicle manufacturer Local Motors by LM Industries, and Robotic Research LLC.
“Public Transportation – From the Tom Thumb Railroad to Hyperloop and Beyond,” written by transit industry leader and podcast host Paul Comfort and illustrated by Sudeep KP is being released Oct. 1.
The expansion includes the use of FSCJ’s Commercial Driver’s License Test Track at the Cecil Center, the development of educational curriculum for autonomous vehicles and related technologies, and the eventual launch of a circulator on campus.
The electric AVs, which support Level 5 autonomous capability, will transport soldiers within the Fort Carson Army installation while also collecting operational data as part of the year-long pilot.
The introduction enables entire fleets for transit or logistics to adapt when remote control is needed, to minimize service disruptions.
When testing is complete, the SAV will improve mobility for riders by providing first- and last-mile solutions for passengers by connecting them between the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station and nearby locations.
