Analysis of an autonomous driving modular bus system

One of the main complaints about the performance of the bus systems is the time lost at recurrent stops along the route, that results in a low bus speed service. Among the potential measures to speed up the bus service, the introduction of the Autonomous Driving Modular Bus, able to adjust the trans...
