Next Stop: Transit Tech chats with Suzanne Murtha, with AECOM’s Automated Bus Consortium, and Jean Ruestman from Michigan DOT. The Consortium is a first-of-its-kind approach to accelerate the development of automated transit technologies, and will combine the purchasing power and decision-making of its founding transit agencies. If implemented, their pilot projects will use full-sized, full-speed, accessible buses and allow Consortium members to demonstrate and deploy automated technology in a live service environment. We'll chat about the state of automated vehicles and the future of the technology in the transit realm.
