As part of a two-year pilot project, das Stadtwerk.Mobilität is sending two autonomous vehicles
on a ring route with seven stops in the Regensburg industrial park.
On weekdays between 10:00 and 16:00, passengers can use the shuttle service there free of charge at 10-minute intervals. At the beginning of 2021, the routes were measured with test drives in cooperation with the vehicle manufacturer Navya and TÜV Nord. On September 1st 2021, the autonomous shuttles started operating. During the journey, a trained escort is on board who can intervene if necessary and control two otherwise driverless buses during this development phase. In the pilot project, the das Stadtwerk.Mobilität is gathering a wealth of experience, knowledge and data and is in close contact with the French vehicle manufacturer Navya, supplying the actual vehicles and the necessary software and project support.
The project is also primarily concerned with identifying and addressing critical issues and problems relating to the operation of autonomous buses.
