• Abstract:
  Given the potential of transit-bus automation, it is critical to evaluate the benefits and challenges from early implementations. A welldesigned evaluation can quantify such societal benefits as improving travel time, increasing mobility, and raising transit ridership. This ; guide aims to assist transit stakeholders with designing and implementing evaluations of automated transit-bus programs. In designing evaluations, transit agencies and other stakeholders should identify program goals and audiences affected by the technology; develop ; a logic model that maps project inputs, activities, and outcomes; choose an appropriate evaluation design; and collect and analyze data on key performance indicators related to their program goals.
