The Vehicle Research and Innovation Laboratory project is proposed as a testing facility to address challenges faced by transit vehicle manufacturers in adopting low- or no-emissions technologies.
Following a successful factory testing in the summer, the deployment of Equans’ CAD/AVL and real-time passenger information technologies (RTPI) on the 54 buses is nearing completion.
The $1.26 million project is partly funded by a nearly $950,000 grant provided through the FTA’s ADAS for Transit Buses Demonstration and Automated Transit Bus Maintenance and Yard Operations Demonstration Program, with CapMetro funding the remaining costs.
The MagnusCards app uses visual cues, step-by-step instructions, and optional audio in either English or Spanish to guide users through the transit process.
The autonomous vehicle-agnostic solution is designed to deliver safe, scalable, and cost-effective multi-passenger autonomous mobility services.
The grant will be used to build a 15-mile route that will provide fast, frequent, clean, and reliable service for the University of Wisconsin, the Madison Central Business District, and other important destinations in Wisconsin’s capital city.
