Abstract
This chapter presents information on demonstrations, pilots, and deployments of automated shuttles, with a focus on enhancing mobility for all users. Automated shuttles continue to be introduced in downtown areas, university campuses, business parks, entertainment complexes, and other areas. Automated buses are being tested in selected corridor applications. The chapter is based on the presentations and discussions at a breakout session at the 2022 Transportation Research Board (TRB) Automated Road Transportation Symposium (ARTS). The ARTS breakout session, Enhancing Mobility with Automated Shuttles and Buses, highlighted projects addressing the needs of all users, including individuals using wheelchairs, those with limited or no eyesight, and those with other disabilities. The information presented in this chapter will assist in evaluation of this mobility option to help inform decision making, identify research needs, and support future developments.
