When transit leaders consider capital investments to reduce costs, improve staff safety and prepare for a low-carbon future, automating a bus yard is an option that should receive significant consideration. Deploying automated vehicles (AVs) in city streets is attempting to plan ("code") for the unplan-nable. Movements in the yard are calculated, routine and in a confined area, making the use case for automation much more attainable in the near-term and less risky. Automating the bus yard can provide a wide variety of economic, operational and safety benefits from day one while enabling transit agencies to develop experience with automation capabilities and methodically expand their use cases. |
