Title: A Seamless Bus Network without External Transfers Using Autonomous Modular Vehicles
Authors: Zaid Saeed Khan, Mónica Menéndez
Abstract: Recently, autonomous modular vehicles (AMVs) capable of enabling in-motion transfer (IMT), i.e. passengers moving between vehicles while the vehicles are traveling, have been developed. IMT allows new paradigms for public transport operations that can enhance the speed, flexibility, and reliability of the system. We leverage IMT technology to propo...
