Performance of automated shuttles at signalised intersections

Automated shuttles are being tested frequently worldwide. Most such pilots take place in more-less controlled environment or in areas with simple traffic conditions. This report provides a unique evaluation of the performance of the shuttles in more complex urban environment. The operation of the shuttles at three signalised intersections in Oslo centre has been investigated using external video observations under real traffic conditions. The findings provide valuable knowledge regarding shuttles’ reactions to the traffic signals and to other road users. Such knowledge can be utilized in other pilots with automated vehicles.
