[USMA:28459] A-BRT

[G. Stanley Doore]

PATH demonstrates automated bus rapid transit (A-BRT) technologies.   A recent PATH publication shows the Driver Vehicle Interface (DVI), a display.  Distances, such as between vehicles in transit, are given in meters; however speeds are in mph for practical reasons - the buses were driven on I-15 in southern CA.   In "automated "virtual train" of buses, separations of 40 m and 15 m smoothly performed the automatic transitions.  The buses were electronically coupled.   Stan Doore
