The City of Helmond aims to offer new mobility services to users by operating on public roads a fleet of remotely supervised automated public transport vehicles from/ to mobility hubs/stations to Helmond’s neighbourhoods and (economic) hotspots. The first step has been to set up two pilots with automated shuttles in 2021 and 2022 (in FABULOS and LivingLAPT EU projects). These two pilots showed that some improvements of the automated shuttle service are necessary to offer a quality of service (speed, comfort, perception of (social) safety) at least equivalent to the current conventional public transport. To go beyond these projects and to achieve Helmond’s ambition, Helmond participates in specific projects (like Move2CCAM – on citizen/organization attitudes and on the impact of CCAM) and adopted a “Roadmap for automated public transport services in Helmond” in 2023. A stepwise approach has been chosen to develop and test automated public transport services in order to be able to implement and upscale them in the city. Starting with automated public transport service operations in an easy environment and then later in more complex environments. In 2024, we will start with the first step; an automated public transport service without the need of a (remote) safety driver in “Bedrijventerrein Zuid Oost Brabant” (BZOB) – an industrial area with an easy Operational Design Domain (ODD).
