From page 19... ... 19 This section presents key findings from this research on the evolution of interest in LSAVs in the United States and lessons learned from the initial planning and implementation of these services. Although the primary audience for this research is public transportation agencies, the findings will be useful to other public and private entities exploring the introduction of LSAV services.

From page 20... ... 20 Low-Speed Automated Vehicles (LSAVs) in Public Transportation • Although most did not specifically refer to LSAVs, 75 percent of applications to the U.S. Read the entire page →
From page 21... ... Findings 21 Two cities in the United States are now developing methods to analyze consumer preferences, and therefore market potential, for LSAV services: • In Chicago, MIT's JTL/Transit Lab researched stated versus revealed preferences for LSAV service that connects to commuter rail or provides door-to-door service. • In San Antonio, Poco Labs conducted market surveys and Delphi interviews to assess the market for LSAV shuttles.

From page 23... ... Findings 23 With the emergence of highly automated vehicles deployed in public transit, FTA has provided guidance for automated buses that also applies to buses used as shuttles.7 Also, the U.S. Department of Justice resolved an ADA compliance review with the University of Michigan and its Mcity LSAV shuttle in 2019.
