Roding starts test operation for autonomous e-minibus and promotes rural mobility
A look at the future of public transport
In Bavaria, various cities test innovative approaches to public transport. Roding, a district of Neubäu am See in the Cham district, is now involved in this list of pioneers. One of the most exciting projects is the autonomous and electrically operated minibus, which starts on Wednesday at 11:00 a.m. This is a significant step towards more environmentally friendly mobility solutions in rural areas.
How the project is implemented
The “AVL Autbus” project pursues the goal of creating a sustainable mobility alternative and at the same time expanding the existing public traffic lines. The specialized minibus will combine important places such as the local campsite and thus make both locals and visitors accessible.
a difference to similar developments
Interestingly, the minibus differs in Roding from comparable projects in other regions of Bavaria. According to a spokeswoman, it is not a specially made construction, but a standard minibus that was equipped with the necessary technology. This could mean that the vehicle is more robust and is better suited for the requirements in everyday life. In addition, the bus is able to achieve speeds of up to 80 km/h, but for the time being, a lower speed is aimed for, which certainly contributes to safety.experiences from other cities
Experiences from other parts of Bavaria, especially from Bad Birnbach in the Rottal-Inn district, show that the implementation of electrically operated and autonomously driving minibuses in rural areas is well received. A pilot project was launched there in 2017, which has now become an integral part of the mobility infrastructure. Pendulum buses combine essential points such as the thermal bath, the train station and the marketplace. The introduction of other buses that operate needs stops has further optimized.
The meaning for the region
The establishment of such innovative traffic solutions has the potential to significantly improve public transport in rural areas. The project in Roding is a strong signal for other small communities that sustainable mobility is realizable and sensible even in less densely populated areas. In Upper Franconia, a similar project was already running in which mini -buses passengers brought passengers to their goals free of charge, which contributed to the acceptance of the idea.
The way to the future
With the start of the project in Roding, another step towards contemporary mobility offers in rural regions is dared. The positive feedback from existing projects in Bavaria gives hope that the interest of the population will continue to grow in environmentally friendly traffic alternatives.
