Automated Mobility-On-Demand Services in the Less Dense and Rural Area
摘要
The development of Cooperative, Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM) represents major challenges for local authorities, particularly in less dense and rural areas where there is a lack of public transportation. The main purpose of this paper is to describe the development of an automated mobility on-demand service, which will be implemented beginning September 2023 in La Rochelle, France. This paper describes the automated mobility on-demand system (bus, infrastructure and supervision centre) and the conditions for its smooth integration with the local existing MaaS (Mobility as a Service) system. This new service aims at providing a small/medium sized city like La Rochelle with an efficient last-mile transport service - to and from existing mobility hubs - complementing the existing public transport.
