THE 'INTELLIGENT BUS SYSTEM' TESTED BY HAMBURG'S TRANSPORT AUTHORITY

HAMBURGS VERKEHRSVERBUND TESTETE "INGELLIGENTES BUSSYSTEM"

One hundred and ten public transport specialists at a conference in Berlin, received an interim report on the development of new and improved bus systems, metropolitan railway systems and urban rapid transport systems, cabin taxi systems, automation and rationalization concepts, moving pavement technology and use studies. Amongst those mentioned was the so-called 'intelligent bus system', which runs purely on demand and completely independent of fixed time-tables. The studies and model tests have demonstrated beyond doubt, that both the systems "automatically controlled taxi buses" and "dial a ride" are technically feasible without difficult problems and suitable both from the traffic and operational viewpoint. /TRRL/
