Abstract
The Automated Road Transport Systems (ARTS) is an urban mobility concept based on two ideas: car
sharing and automated capabilities with door-to door solutions. This paper presents a description of the
integration of the last large demonstration (3 months) in the city of San Sebastian together with a risk
evaluation study. The main safety issues regarding the proposed track and vehicles are addressed,
taking into account the maximum speed allowed per segment and comfortable accelerations for
passengers, in order to avoid unacceptable risks. Appropriate modifications have been carried out in
the infrastructure in order to adapt the new vehicles’ performance to future smart cities. A description
of the general control architecture and technical/functional specifications of the ARTS involved in the
demonstrator is presented. This paper describes the achievements and results of this demonstration,
showing the viability of this kind of vehicle in the near future.
