Abstract
The Toyota Intelligent Multi-mode Transit System(IMTS) is realized through combining the ITS technology for fully-automated 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. The significant features of the bus controls are automated steering and pratooning. In this paper, the system configuration, bus control and operating system are described.
