EAST BIRMINGHAM NORTH SOLIHULL AUTOMATED SHUTTLE SERVICE

该项目以西米德兰兹郡地铁线路的现有商业案例为基础，将开发一个独立验证的隔离交通走廊案例，通过无人驾驶、远程监控、无轨道服务的能力取代最初的轻轨解决方案，利用轮胎停机位技术自动排队穿梭车辆。这项研究将考虑可以消除的传统铁路需求，以及相关的资本和运营成本；以及需要的新要求和成本。

Building on an existing proven business case for a Metro route in the West Midlands, this project will develop an independently verified case for a segregated transit corridor by substituting the initial light rail solution with the capabilities of driverless, remotely supervised, rail-less service utilising automated, platooning shuttle vehicles using tyre-on-tarmac technology. The study will consider the traditional rail-based requirements, and associated capital and operational costs, that can be removed; and the new requirements and costs that will be required.
