The news follows Transdev Canada launching an AV public shuttle service on open roads, in the heart of Montreal, with two EasyMile EZ10 autonomous shuttles, in a pilot that will extend to 4 August.
Since 21 June, Transdev and the City of Montreal reached a new milestone: a pilot autonomous shuttles deployment in a dense urban environment, in normal traffic, connecting Montreal’s Olympic Park metro station with Maisonneuve Market.
In the project, Transdev operates EasyMile EZ10 autonomous shuttles which circulate in normal daily traffic conditions, crossing intersections equipped with intelligent traffic signals with which the shuttles communicate.
The circuit covers a distance of 1.4km, which takes around six minutes with an average speed of 15km/h.
