Abstract

This paper examines the automation of public transport depots and the associated opportunities. Furthermore, the benefits for public road operations through a step-wise transferability of these depots developments is introduced. To this end, we first analyse which areas of public transport are not yet suited for the unrestricted use of fully automated vehicles, before motivating why depots are well suited for this purpose. In the following, the operations at two different depots and the previous work done so far are presented and abstracted in a generic model. For the description of the model, modeling methods are introduced and a graphical notation, defined by the unified modeling language, is applied. Based on the developed model a structured analysis of which operations may be automated and how savings might be achieved is enabled. Finally, the transferability to the operation on duty is discussed and the need for early inclusion of this consideration is highlighted.
