Transportation systems are currently being transformed by advances in information and communicationtechnologies. The development of autonomous transportation holds the promise of providing revolutionary improvementsin speed, efficiency, safety and reliability. Automated systems are ideally suited to supplement the existing mass publictransport system with collective, semi-collective and personal on-demand and shuttle services. When demand is low orpick-up points are far apart, they are much more effective than conventional public mass transport systems. . A widertake-up of automated transport systems within cites or city-like environments has yet to happen. Studies have shown newtransport systems based on automation to have significant potential in areas of low to medium public transport demandand/or as a feeder service to the main public transport network. Further research is necessary in order to exploit thepotential benefits of automation in road transport in a manner that is safe. This paper identifies key advantages ofautomated transport system as feeder service.
