Abstract

This chapter brings an overview of the evolution of automation in public transport, from the first automated metros until the most recent advances and trials in mixed-traffic conditions with Autonomous Vehicles for Collective Transport (AVCTs). It presents a typology of uses with five stages of on-demand services with AVCTs exemplified by many cutting edge experimentations distributed among the five proposed stages. The arrival of AVCTs shows an imminent disruption in the history of public transport, reconfiguring not only the forms of use but also its whole business model structure.
