# Automated and Autonomous Public Transport: Possibilities, Challenges and Technologies

![Automated and Autonomous Public Transport: Possibilities, Challenges and Technologies](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/ce0a8dabe19638dd528bfaa3dc6569.jpg)

Technological developments are transforming mobility. Making private cars
autonomous gives a glimpse of the benefits in terms of urban traffic
decongestion, improvement in air quality, flexibility and safety. A new
connected mobility offer, electric and shared, is emerging with the development
of autonomous vehicles.

These observations have led us to review the opportunities presented by these
new technologies for the development of autonomous public transport systems,
especially for guided rail transport: tram, metro, railway. What will the
challenges, obstacles, perspectives and risks be? What kind of vision can one
form of tomorrow’s public transport? Our experts answer these questions and look
as engineers at the future of autonomous transport via a study and a 160-page
white paper.
