Abstract

At the University of Paderborn, the Railcab project is developing an intelligent rail-based transportation system. Its vision is to combine flexible, on-demand scheduling with cost and resource effectiveness, thus offering the advantages of both individual and public transportation. Fleets of intelligent shuttles capable of transporting a small number of passengers or a single freight container autonomously navigate a passive track system and make independent and decentralized operational decisions.
