Funded by the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement, the buses follow an initial procurement of 50 vehicles for the next phase of the Bee Network.
The project aims to prioritise the movement, health and safety of people over cars and includes using modal filters such as benches, planters or bollards to reduce traffic on residential streets.
Fleetondemand’s Mobilleo platform will power Kinto’s MaaS offering that consolidates all forms of travel into a single solution where customers can search thousands of different travel providers
The technology anonymously identifies different types of road users at selected junctions and controls traffic signals to allow different modes of transportation to be prioritised as and when required.
The junction, equipped with cycle optimised protected signals, allows bicycles to approach from four arms which converge onto a cycle track and help segregate cyclists from general traffic.
