The
BUSolutions project is a collaborative effort between government and
industry, intended to demonstrate the feasibility of producing easily
maintainable, efficient city transit buses. This goal will be achieved
through a unique systems engineering approach, making extensive use
of simulation and optimization, while relying on industry-standard componentry
for major systems.
One
Advanced Technology Demonstrator Vehicles (ATDV) will be developed for
the purpose of gaining usability and performance feedback.
Automation
Alley is working with Altair Engineering, the product development partner
for the ATDV, as well as DDOT, SMART, the United States Department of
Transportation, the Federal Transit Administration and other program
partners and sponsors.
