The number of people living in cities is growing along with the number of cars used – in order to reduce the latter, a well-functioning public transport system is necessary. Self-driving vehicles and other new technologies are a hope for effective solutions in the nearest future. This graduation project takes advantage of the fact that Prague has a well-developed network of tracks, which provides a possibility of creating a flexible and dynamic fleet of small autonomous tramways. The vehicles are wireless, powered by batteries which can be recharged at stops. The driverless interior leaves more space for passengers. A special front light increases the visibility of the tram and supports visual communication with the pedestrians: with their safety in mind, the tram is equipped with an external air bag. The project has been developed in cooperation with the Škoda Transportation company.
