2-wheel personal rapid transit: Self-driving vehicles for maximum sustainability

Abstract

The topic of this paper is a concept for socially and ecologically sustainable passenger transportation in rural and suburban areas, based on the idea of driverless cabin motorcycles running on an own, segregated guideway network. It describes the functioning principle, characteristics of vehicles and route network and possible effects on cross-modal competition and intermodal travel chains. Finally, estimations upon costs and resource consumption as well as regulatory aspects are discussed.
