Abstract EN
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent a new, growing segment of transportation research.
While there have been prior studies and deployments of AVs worldwide, full autonomy in bus transit has gained interest among researchers and practitioners within the last decade, which presents an opportunity to synthesize early trends.
Therefore, the objective of this paper is to provide a review of the latest research on fully autonomous buses to summarize findings and identify gaps needing future research.
Forty studies were reviewed in detail, and five main themes were identified, which are (1) technology deployment; (2) user acceptance; (3) safety; (4) social and economic aspects; and (5) regulations, policies, and legal issues.
The results reveal that most prior studies have focused on technology development, and the area of regulation and policy would benefit from additional study.
Noteworthy differences between research in Europe and the United States were also identified.
In Europe, large funded projects involving real-world deployments have focused on user acceptance, security and safety, costs, and related legal issues, whereas in the United States, research has primarily concentrated on simulation modelling with limited real-world deployments.
The results of this review are important for policy-makers and researchers as AV technology continues to evolve and become more widely available.
