Abstract
The Toyota Intelligent Multimode Transit System(IMTS) is realized through combining the ITS technology for fullyautomated cars with existing rail-way technology as an innovative transit system. At the Awaji Farm Park we have developed the IMTS specifically designed for the transport of visitors between two major areas. This is the first introduction of the IMTS as a practical transport. The system is composed of fully automated buses and a road-side system as a whole. The primary functions of the buses are automated steering control and pratooning. Over the dedicated lane for the IMTS blocking sections are fitted and an automatic train operating is installed. Here, the system configuration, bus control and operating system are shown.
