The AVENUE project

Autonomous vehicles promise to be the next revolution in transportation, changing drastically how people move and make use of transport vehicles. Autonomous vehicle transportation will have an even higher impact and provide more services when used in the framework of public transport services, where they should find their first users in suburban areas that are less well served by traditional transportation networks.

In AVENUE’s vision of the future of public transportation in urban and suburban environments, autonomous vehicles will revolutionize the way citizens use public transportation by making time-tables and fixed bus stops obsolete and by offering a service that will allow passengers to call and hop a ride at any time, for example at their doorstep, and deposit them as close as possible to their destination.
