Best Practice
NOTE: This best practice was sourced by the ENTRANCE consortium from publicly-available information.
The project goal was to develop a new type of "public transport on demand" mobility concept based on autonomous, electrically powered minibuses and networking with existing bus and rail lines. The organization of road traffic, in particular the information technology and organizational interaction with passenger-operated local public transport vehicles, has been researched. The project also dealt intensively with social aspects and researched user behavior and the acceptance of passengers as well as the legal aspects of autonomous vehicles in public transport. Due to the settlement structure and transport infrastructure, some parts of the state Schleswig-Holstein, especially in North Frisia, can only be reached by public transport with a large amount of time. This limited accessibility has a direct impact on the attractiveness of these regions as well as the quality of life of the people. A demand-responsive, autonomously driving should offer the possibility to develop new person-oriented mobility services for central mobility bottlenecks in rural areas. The target groups of the new services are not only the elderly and mobility-impaired in general, but also families, young people or single parents in rural areas.
The Solution involved:
User workshops, passenger surveys based on questionnaires and information events have taken place to keep the public informed about the project. Also, press releases were published throughout the whole project period.
