The objective of this cooperative agreement is to support the efforts of Automation Alley in designing and building two advanced technology prototype buses. The buses will demonstrate ways to revitalize the public bus transportation industry in the United States through improvements in maintenance, fuel economy, emissions, and passenger comfort. The Detroit Department of Transportation (DDOT) and the SMART bus service operating in Oakland, Macomb and Wayne Counties, will each receive one of the prototype buses for regular transit use and evaluation. BUSolutions is a joint effort of Automation Alley and Altair Engineering, Inc. to provide an easily maintainable, next generation, transit bus that addresses challenges facing the U.S. urban transit systems. |
