Path From Vital Rail Communications to Autonomous Rapid Transit
• PTC Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC) ensures fail-safe, semi-autonomous operation of trains
Rail Bus / Motorcoach ART• Connected Vehicle solutions
for remote video monitoring, edge computing, and passenger Wi-Fi (LILEE SafeRide)
• Apply safety-first principles of CBTC toward Level-4 automation of fixed-route operations

Connected Autonomous Bus PilotTaichung City, Taiwan
LILEE Systems is proud to partner with the city government of Taichung City, Taiwan in developing a 2.9km autonomous bus pilot in live operation from December 14th, 2018 through January 20th, 2019
Taichung City is Taiwan’s “Second City” with a population of 2.79 million people, a cosmopolitan culture, and a growing technical/industrial economy
Built on the former Taichung Shuinan Airport site, Taichung’s Shuinan Smart City has been designated as an infrastructure innovation district
-
Connected Autonomous Bus PilotTaichung City, Taiwan
City government faces challenges of a growing population: • Driver shortage • Financial deficit • High demand for public transportation • Air pollution• Road safety
Taichung City experienced a significant population growth and became 2nd largest city in Taiwan
Cities around the globe are actively working together with city planners and vendors to create an autonomous bus solution toward revenue services to reduce costs and improve safety.
-
Live Operational Pilot: Taichung City, Taiwan
• The first autonomous 9m bus in Taiwan, Asia, and World to operate for regular route and schedule.
• The Law to regulate autonomous vehicle in Taiwan was approved on Nov. 30, 2018.
• The bus served for 31 days in mid-December, 2018 in Taichung City, Taiwan.
-
Existing Vehicle Retrofitted for Pilot

Connected Autonomous Bus –Connectivity
Along a 2.9km long semi-enclosed bus lane, roadside LIDAR and AI are used to enhance vehicle safety through connectivity
• Safety overlay installed at critical intersections• Sensors
• Cameras
• Wireless Radio
• Signal Priority
• Provides intersection intrusion alerts and communications backbone
-
An autonomous-retrofit 9-meter diesel bus, running on regular streets, carrying citizens, with signal priority enabled
In 32 days of operation, we received overwhelming welcome with more than 7,000 riders onboard; including elementary school teachers, students, wheel chairs, senior citizens and their dogs

Future Deliverables
• Oct. 2019: Lilee will receive first commercial license to operate AV-bus in dedicated bus lane for revenue service in the heart of Taichung city center
• Sep. 2020: Reach full ART operation with 24 buses in 15.3 km bus route. Similar to MRT & subway, there are 12 buses departing westbound every 5 min and another 12 buses for eastbound

Connected Autonomous Bus –Feedback from the city and its Passengers
Our experiences have become a cornerstone for the policy makers and safety regulators to build specifications and acceptance criteria.
We are committed to continuously invest heavily to build an autonomous bus ecosystem and to enhance safety operation capabilities.
The rider surveys demonstrated a high degree of public confidence
