自动驾驶汽车(AVs)代表着交通研究中一个新的、不断增长的领域。虽然在全球范围内已经有了AVS的前期研究和部署，但在过去的十年里，完全自主的公交系统已经引起了研究人员和实践者的兴趣，这为综合早期的趋势提供了机会。因此，本文的目的是对全自动驾驶公交车的最新研究进行综述，以总结研究成果并找出未来需要研究的差距。对40项研究进行了详细审查，确定了五个主要主题，它们是：(1)技术部署；(2)用户接受；(3)安全；(4)社会和经济方面；以及(5)法规、政策和法律问题。结果表明，以前的大多数研究都集中在技术发展上，而监管和政策领域将受益于更多的研究。欧洲和美国的研究也发现了值得注意的差异。在欧洲，涉及真实世界部署的大型资助项目专注于用户接受、安全和安全、成本和相关法律问题，而在美国，研究主要集中在有限真实世界部署的模拟建模上。随着反病毒技术的不断发展和越来越广泛，这项审查的结果对政策制定者和研究人员来说很重要。
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.
