What do we understand by automated vehicles?
What do we understand by connected vehicles?

Autonomous buses? Connected buses?
![Page 4: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Autonomous buses? Connected buses?
• Does it make sense?
• Where are the benefits?
• Is it really possible?
![Page 5: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Autonomous public transport has been around for decades
![Page 6: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Modern Metro systems are driverless or have drivers that do not drive
• And driverless cars are already here….
• This innovation seems to be ignoring buses.
• If we consider automation in buses….
• which should be the first step for buses towards automation?
![Page 7: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
•Driverless Metro seem feasible because of rails and a fully segregated way. Buses lack rails
But…
![Page 8: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The conflicts with other vehicles and pedestrians for a bus in a corridor are much easier to predict
than for a car moving in regular traffic
![Page 9: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Thus, automatizing buses should start with buses operating in corridors.
• According to www.brtdata.org there are 452 BRT corridors in 205 cities worldwide, serving more tan 34 million passengers per day.
• The benefits from automatizing for these passengers would be huge.
• A centralized coordinating control can become the rails for these buses and much more
![Page 10: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Some potential benefits of automated and
controlled operation
Smoother bus docking at stations
Safety
Traffic signal priority
Eco-driving
Schedules (waiting times and transfers)
Headway regularity

Vehicles in public transport systems behave like magnets….
Any perturbation and the equilibrium is lost… all around the world.
Regular intervals is an unstable equilibrium

What are the impacts?
• Waiting times grow
• One minute of waiting is perceived as two or three minutes of in-vehicle time
• Waiting times variability grow
• Leads to earlier departures for users
![Page 29: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What are the impacts?
• Average crowdedness grow
• Longer waiting times correlate with high occupancy
• More users suffer high occupancy
• Users tend to remember the worst experiences
![Page 30: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What are the impacts?
• Dwell times grow
• Boarding and alighting is slow creating friction that damages the experience
• Speed drops…. And capacity drops
• Cycle times variability grows
• Operators need extra fleet and drivers due to variable cycle times
![Page 31: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
What are the impacts?
User Satisfaction
Occupancy
In bus services user satisfaction with the in-vehicle experience drops as occupancy inside the vehicle grows.
![Page 32: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
What are the impacts?
User Satisfaction
Occupancy
Imagine a service that must be provided at a stop where passengers arrive at10 passengers/min.
We plan a 5 minute interval service. Each bus will arrive empty and therefore should leave with 50 passengers.
If bus capacity is 80 passengers then we get 63% occupancy.
![Page 33: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

• Real-time control at dispatching and along the route

Cincinnati Streetcar Route 5 - Malmö BRT
• 5 streetcars
• 12 minute headway• 16 BRT buses
• 5 minute headway
![Page 50: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Open versus closed BRT
• Some cities are operating open BRT corridors in which buses join and leave the corridor providing a direct trip for some journeys.
• In such cases the driver should only drive while the bus is not in the corridor.
![Page 51: Juan Carlos Muñoz - Connected and automated buses. An opportunity to bring reliability to bus service.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051521/5a6d884b7f8b9a10428b5a39/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Notice that drivers are the critical link….
• We have shown that (Phillips et al, 2014) it takes few drivers not obeying instructions systematically to severely damage the benefits of automated and coordinated control.
• In the path towards automatizing…put buses first!
