Graz University of Technology develops timetable-free autonomous shuttle service
Researchers at TU Graz have developed an autonomous on-demand shuttle service that runs without a fixed timetable and combines sensors in vehicles and infrastructure.
Why it matters: The TU Graz team behind the shuttle presents it as public transport that runs on demand rather than to a fixed timetable.
Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) said an autonomous on-demand shuttle service has been developed at the university.
According to TU Graz, the service operates as public transport without a fixed timetable.
The university said the system draws on sensors in both the vehicles and the infrastructure, with the aim of making mobility safe, efficient and sustainable.
