The up-to-date design of the public transportation system: The fully-automated system known as T.A.U. (Transport Automatise Urbain)
Particularly well adapted to cities of 100.000 to 1.000.000 inhabitants, the TAU is a public transportation system, capable of the performances, the comfort and the service quality of a metro, with high savings in investment and operating costs. The TAU system, an integrated public transportation system presents the following highlights: A total automatization of the transport network: unmanned vehicle driving and remote control of the complete network from the dispatching: basic criteria for the operating costs reduction. An easy integration within the urban network thanks to specific construction methods for the tunnels and the stations, to a new design of articulated bogie with four independent wheels and to small-profile vehicles: basic criteria for the construction works costs reduction. The whole automatization enables to reduce notably the operating costs against those of existing transportation systems, for which the expenses for the operating personnel are high.
