• Abstract:
  In June 2023, and the Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority (CapMetro) was awarded $949,500 through the Federal Transit Administration’s (FTA) Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) for Transit Buses Demonstration and Automated Transit Bus Maintenance and Yard Operations Demonstration Program, for the CapMetro ADS Yard Automation Research and Deployment (YARD) project in Austin, Texas. The CapMetro ADS YARD project aimed to demonstrate automated driving systems (ADS) technology in multiple vehicles at their North Operations (North Ops) bus depot. The CapMetro ADS YARD project identified four (4) main goals: 1. Test and assess the potential future benefits and challenges of automated battery- electric buses (BEBs) through routine bus yard maneuvers. 2. Share lessons learned from the automated vehicle demonstrations with CapMetro stakeholders and industry partners to improve the capabilities of automation technology. 3. Collaborate with CapMetro workforce to better understand the potential impacts to current positions supporting yard operations and identify what potential new positions may be required to operate and maintain automated BEBs. 4. Determine the long-term viability of fleet-wide bus yard automation for current and future CapMetro bus depots.
