The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of a semi-autonomous guided vehicle within a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) or Sustainable Bus Transit (SBT) public transport paradigm and to define its architecture in terms of the sensor networks to be used, control and driver-system interfaces. Semi-autonomous driving means that the guidance provided by BRITE is intended to assist the driver and relieve him of low-level tasks. In the general operating mode, the bus is driven autonomously in the reserved lanes. The human driver can take over the driving control when he needs to perform special manoeuvres and then return to the autonomous driving mode smoothly and without impacting on the comfort and safety of the passengers. The main objective of the project is to collect data and to design, implement and test a prototype for the semi-autonomous guidance of city bus vehicles in a realistic operational environment with respect to the road and climatic conditions typically encountered in the Quebec City area. The project has three main lines of investigation: i) perception, ii) plug-in mechanical architecture for vehicle control and iii) system integration for autonomous driving. The first axis concerns the collection and analysis of data for autonomous driving, trajectory planning and collision avoidance. Axis 2 aims to design a mechanical vehicle control interface capable of adapting to different bus models. Finally, axis 3 aims at the implementation of a functional prototype of the BRITE semi-autonomous driving concept. The research will be carried out by the academic team of Université Laval and UMRsu in partnership with Thales Canada and Leddartech, the project's industrial partners.
