CAVForth2

This project will see Stagecoach, the UK’s largest bus operator, extend the route of the existing CAVForth autonomous bus service, from Edinburgh Park station to Dunfermline city centre.  The extended route capability will come from an upgraded version of the CAVStar® ADS (Automated Drive System) that will be developed by Fusion Processing Ltd during the project.  CAVForth2 will also utilise an autonomous version of the new Enviro100AEV electric bus from Alexander Dennis. 

About the project

This project will see Stagecoach, the UK’s largest bus operator, extend the 14 mile each way route of the existing CAVForth autonomous bus service from Edinburgh Park station across the Forth Road Bridge on to Dunfermline city centre. The additional 5 mile each way section of the route will take in more complex autonomous driving scenarios on busy A and B roads, mixing with city centre traffic.

Capability to accomplish this challenging driving will come from an upgraded version of the CAVStar® ADS (Automated Drive System) that will be developed and supplied by Fusion Processing Ltd during the project. CAVForth2 will utilise an autonomous version of the new Enviro100EV electric bus from Alexander Dennis, also fitted with Fusion’s CAVStar® ADS.

Automated driving offers many advantages over manually driven buses, primarily an increase in safety as well fuel savings and reduced brake and tyre wear. Fusion Processing will map the automated drive system to accurately match the best driver, optimising acceleration so it is smooth and efficient. The Fusion system also interrogates the traffic lights and adjusts the vehicle’s speed to ensure they arrive on green, reducing tyre and brake wear.
