PVT Group partners on AV and EV bus and mini bus trials

Transport software provider 3264 PTV Group has joined forces on a two-year project to assess the application of autonomous and electric buses in areas with different settlement structures and population densities.

The project ‘Research into the preconditions for the and fields of application of autonomous and electric (mini) buses in public transport’, will focus on technology and infrastructure, space and traffic-related conditions and acceptance. It will also address the legal, operational and economic aspects with results included into a practical guide and future recommendations.

The project has been commissioned by Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMV) and will be managed by a consortium consisting of PTV, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the consulting and audit firm Rödl & Partner.
