HertsLynx CAM On-Demand

如果我们要实现我们在交通领域的脱碳目标，那么我们必须寻求创新来填补公共交通网络的空白。如《未来交通：城市战略》原则8所述；新的移动服务必须作为综合交通系统的一部分来设计，该系统结合了公共、私人和多种交通方式，为交通用户提供服务。HertsLynx AV将在赫特福德郡梅兰兹商业园区地区分析CAM按需公共交通服务的潜力。该地区是物流和分销市场领导者的所在地，拥有650多家企业，雇员超过2万人。CAM和按需运输（DRT）的结合在英国还没有被考虑在一个特定的地点，这可能为英国第一个类似的计划的运作铺平道路。我们坚信，CAM服务或按需服务本身不会在效率和运营方面取得运输部门所需要的收益，但结合起来是一个巨大的进步。我们认为这些在默认情况下与电动或氢驱动链齐头并进。我们选择这个地点的原因是，该地点距离圣奥尔本斯火车站约6英里，距离哈彭登火车站约7英里，没有直接的公共汽车连接。目前，从圣奥尔本斯出发，乘坐两辆公共汽车大约需要50 - 60分钟，而自驾则需要15分钟。目前没有合理的公交线路从哈彭登站。因此，半灵活的自动驾驶巴士服务可以提供从贝德福德到布莱顿的泰晤士河连接服务的重要连接，目前没有连接到商业园区。我们希望在可行性研究中加入按需调度的元素，这将允许自动巴士在商业园区（沿着合适的走廊）灵活运行，然后变成前往圣奥尔本斯站或哈彭登站的固定服务。

If we are to achieve our decarbonisation targets in the mobility sector, then we must look to innovation to fill the gaps in the public transport network. As described in principle 8 of the Future of Mobility: Urban Strategy; New mobility services must be designed to operate as part of an integrated transport system combining public, private and multiple modes for transport users.HertsLynx AV will be analysing the potential for an CAM On-Demand Mass Transit service in the Maylands Business Park region of Hertfordshire. The area is home to market leaders in logistics and distribution with more than 650 businesses that employ over 20,000 people. The combination of CAM and On-Demand Transport (DRT) has not been considered in the UK at a specific location and this could pave the way for the first of a kind UK scheme being operational.We strongly believe that CAM service or On-Demand Service on their own won't make the gains in efficiency and operation that the transport sector needs but combined are a huge advancement. We consider that these go hand in hand with Electric or Hydrogen drive chain by default.The reason we have chosen this site is that the site is located around 6 miles from the St Albans Train Station and 7 miles to Harpenden Train Station with no direct bus link. Currently, the journey from St Albans takes around 50 - 60 minutes using 2 buses, whereas the car journey takes 15 minutes. There is currently no reasonable bus link from Harpenden station.Therefore, a semi-flexible autonomous bus service could provide a vital link from the Thameslink services from Bedford - Brighton which currently doesn't link to the business park.We would look to add an element of On-Demand scheduling into the feasibility study which would allow the autonomous bus to operate flexibly in the business park (along suitable corridors) and then turn into a fixed service to St Albans Station or Harpenden Station.
