CityMobil2 project close to its end

CityMobil2 is an EU-supported research project which is setting up a pilot platform for automated road transport systems. The penultimate demonstration started in Sophia Antipolis, France on 18 January and will end on 31 March. Three mini-bus shuttles with a passenger seating capacity of nine are currently running on a one kilometer route with five stops along the way to test the automation technology.

The project has already been tested in other parts of the world: Rochelle, Lausanne (Switzerland), Trikala (Greece) and Vantaa (Finland). In Greece, operators were able to intervene remotely in situations where vehicles did not know what to do.
