Analysis of an Autonomous Driving Modular Bus System Romea, Guillem Estrada, Miquel Transporte público Vehículos autónomos Public transport Autonomous vehicles Ingeniería civil Transportes Civil engineering Transportation Trabajo presentado en: R-Evolucionando el transporte, XIV Congreso de Ingeniería del Transporte (CIT 2021), realizado en modalidad online los días 6, 7 y 8 de julio de 2021, organizado por la Universidad de Burgos One of the main complaints about the performance of the bus systems is the time lost at recurrent stops along the route, that results in a low bus speed service. Among the potential measures to speed up the bus service, the introduction of the Autonomous Driving Modular Bus, able to adjust the transport unit by coupling or decoupled pods, will represent a new paradigm in the provision of service. This concept is able to maintain high stable cruising speeds to the transport unit, decoupling only one pod with passengers that may alight at the next stop. This paper analyze the potentialities of this concept in terms of user travel times and operationg cost. This work also features the formulation and analytical models to calculate the performance and oeprational variables, implementing them into two existing bus lines in Barcelona. 2022-09-23T07:08:03Z 2022-09-23T07:08:03Z 2021-07 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 978-84-18465-12-3 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7045 10.36443/10259/7045 eng R-Evolucionando el transporte http://hdl.handle.net/10259/6490 https://doi.org/10.36443/9788418465123 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess application/pdf Universidad de Burgos.
