Dromos CAM system to link Bolton Transport Interchange to the Royal Bolton Hospital

博尔顿理事会致力于应对我们的气候变化战略中规定的气候紧急情况。为了取得成功，我们必须解决重要问题，并在我们的伙伴关系、企业和社区中采取协作行动，以实现真实的变革。该战略作出的承诺与全球、国家和区域在气候变化方面正在发生的事情保持一致。这些承诺支持大曼彻斯特五年环境计划，该计划旨在到2038年实现净零碳排放。我们的气候变化战略是由博尔顿愿景伙伴关系和博尔顿人民共同制定的，其核心目的是减少导致气候变化的碳排放，并减轻我们的集体活动对环境的影响。然而，我们也知道，应对气候变化的行动带来了许多额外的机会和潜在的好处。例如，在热门路线上使用自动驾驶汽车不仅有助于减少碳排放，还有助于改善空气质量。该理事会致力于与大曼彻斯特交通局（TfGM）合作，以减少交通和旅行的碳排放。大曼彻斯特？《2040年运输策略交付计划》提出了“正确组合”的目标，即到2040年，每天增加100万次可持续出行，机动车交通净增长为零。这依赖于提供基础设施，以增加主动出行，更多地使用公共交通工具并转向电动汽车。从成功竞标获得Innovate UK互联和自动驾驶汽车赠款的机会中受益，将使理事会能够在Aecom于2018年已经开展的筹备工作的基础上再接再厉，并将博尔顿置于与TfGM，Costain和Dromos合作开发英国自主，可持续交通网络的最前沿。Dromos开发的CAM系统使用最多可容纳2名成人（加上儿童、行李箱、婴儿车、自行车或轮椅）的自动驾驶电动汽车。这些车辆将在隔离的基础设施上运行，提供安全的旅行，并且由于车辆重量极轻（500公斤，而不是几百吨），所需的成本和空间比基于铁路的系统低50%。此外，施工时间和出行时间也减半。CAM系统是这项可行性研究的核心，它改变了我们对公共交通的看法：未来的公共交通将像乘坐出租车一样舒适，同时使用21世纪世纪的技术。

Bolton Council is committed to responding to the climate emergency as set out in our Climate Change Strategy. To succeed, we must address important issues and act collaboratively across our partnerships, businesses and communities in a way that delivers real change. The strategy makes commitments that align with what is happening on climate change globally, nationally, and regionally. These commitments support the Greater Manchester Five-Year Environment Plan, which aims to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2038\.??Our Climate Change Strategy has been brought together by the Bolton Vision Partnership and the people of Bolton, with a central purpose to reduce carbon emissions that contribute to climate change and lessen the impact of our collective activities on the environment. However, we also know that action on climate change opens a host of additional opportunities and potential benefits. For example, utilisation of autonomous vehicles on popular routes not only helps to reduce carbon emissions, but also contributes to cleaner, healthier air.?The council is committed to working with Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) to reduce carbon emissions from transport and travel. The Greater Manchester?2040 Transport Strategy Delivery Plan promotes the "Right Mix" target of one million more sustainable journeys per day by 2040 with zero net growth in motor vehicle traffic. This relies on providing infrastructure that will allow increased active travel, greater use of public transport and a shift to electric vehicles.?The opportunity to benefit from a successful bid to access funding from Innovate UK's Connected and Autonomous Vehicles Grant would enable the Council to build on the preparatory work already undertaken by Aecom in 2018 and to put Bolton at the forefront of developing autonomous, sustainable, transport networks in the UK in partnership with TfGM, Costain and Dromos.?The CAM system developed by Dromos uses autonomous electrical vehicles for up to 2 adults (plus children, luggage, prams, bikes, or wheelchairs). The vehicles will operate on segregated infrastructure, providing safe travel and, given the extremely low vehicle weight (500kg as opposed to several hundred tons), the cost and space required are 50% lower compared to rail-based systems. In addition, construction time and travel time are also halved.?The CAM system at the heart of this feasibility study changes the way we think about public transport: the future is riding in comfort like using a taxi while paying the price for a bus ticket and using twenty-first century technology.
