Searching for solutions rather than pointing fingers, it is helpful to understand how the transit planning process relates to the culture of the transit industry. As many planners and transit executives know, planning is all about change, going into the unknown, and taking risks. Most urban transportation project planners, developers, and policy makers are generally not aware of Automated Transit Networks (ATN) and its potential benefits, tradeoffs, and implications. This chapter addresses the planning issues from three distinct but related perspectives: public policy, long‐range transportation planning (LRTP), and operations planning. The Automated Transit Systems (ATS) Committee designated as AP040 by transportation research board (TRB) has been leading the way to define and shape the research agenda for ATS around the world. The Observatory of Automated Metros is international organization commissioned by European Public Transportation Commission (UITP), the association of public transportation agencies, to disseminate and share current and relevant knowledge about driverless metros.
