The autonomous bus by Alexander Dennis will utilise an upgraded version of Fusion’s CAVStar autonomous driving software as it takes passengers along the 14-mile route across the Forth Road Bridge from the Ferrytoll Park & Ride in Fife to the Edinburgh Park Transport Interchange in Edinburgh.

There is a five-mile extension of the existing 14-mile autonomous bus trial (CAVForth) from Edinburgh Park station across the Forth Road Bridge in the UK in an attempt to gather more complex data, utilising an upgraded version of Fusion’s CAVStar autonomous driving software and ADL’s Enviro100EV electric bus.

The project brings together a consortium led by HVS and includes Fusion Processing and Asda.

UK bus and coach operator, Stagecoach, tested the first autonomous bus (Alexander Dennis Enviro200AV) to carry passengers over the Forth Road Bridge, near Edinburgh, as part of the CAVForth project.

The project brings together a consortium led by HVS and includes Fusion Processing, Grayson and PNDC.

Fusion Processing’s CAVstar control and sensing system will be used to make Bradshaw’s third generation electric T700 and T800 Tow Tractors, fully autonomous.
