ABSTRACT:
This conference paper describes the driver-interface of the ADART para transit system being presently tested in Corpus Christi, TX. ADART stands for Autonomous Dial-a-Ride Transit, a multivehicle, shared-ride, door-to-door, demand-responsive, passenger transport service. Remarkably, ADART operates without centralized command and control: It distributes all fleet management decisions among large fast computers-on board the vehicles.
Under normal ADART operation, the customer is the only human involved in the entire process of requesting a ride, assigning trips to vehicles, scheduling arrivals, and routing the vehicle. There are no telephone operators to receive calls, nor any central dispatchers to assign trips, nor any human planning a route. A driver’s only job is to obey instructions from his/her vehicle’s computers, which continually plans his optimal route. |
