The AVENUE Project Scientific Coordinator Prof. D. Attias indicates the project’s advances & their potential for the future of services with autonomous shuttles

Want to learn about the public policy advances in Europe for the faster introduction of autonomous vehicle services in Public Transportation? In the Mobilités Magazine n°46, proposals of the removal of the safety-driver in tests with these vehicles from 2021 and the increase in operational speed to a maximum of 60km/h on certain roads are presented. The scientific coordinator of the AVENUE Project, Prof. Danielle ATTIAS, indicates the project’s proposals & advances along with their potential for the future of services with autonomous shuttles as a complement to public transportation. The new business models that can emerge through this market innovation are also being discussed.

Jérôme SICARD, Director of Projects and Information Systems at Keolis Lyon, explains how Keolis Group is positioned as a pioneer in terms of Autonomous Mobility.
The article specifies some major steps from the first worldwide experimentation on the Confluence district, to the experimentation of the Parc Ol in the most complex environment that exists, as well as how H2020 AVENUE project helped making a technological leap at Lyon pilot site by connecting Décines tram station to the Olympic Park Lyonnais on open routes, in interaction with traffic lights.
