On June 25, researchers from SJTU and INRIA visited the pre-launch demonstration of ParkShuttle II at Rivium Business Park, a bus-like transport system with fully automated vehicles. The aim of this study tour was to obtain better understanding in Cybercars, and technical details in both Cybercars and its applications. A Chinese journalist was also invited to join this study tour, in order to enlarge the influence of Cybercars in China.
This future ParkShuttle application in Rotterdam will be a link between the Kralingse Zoom subway station and Rivium business park. 2getthere (the developer) and Connexxion (the operator) answered questions from the delegates from NETMOBILE workshop and provide information on user needs, technical aspects and development.
