Abstract
The Automated Road Transport Systems (ARTS) is an urban mobility concept based on two ideas: car sharing and
automated capabilities with door-to door solutions. In this paper, a description of the integration of the last large
demonstration (3 months) in the San Sebastian city, with a risk evaluation study, is presented. The main safety issues
regarding to the proposed track and vehicles are addressed, but considering the maximum speed allowed per
segments and the comfortable accelerations of the passengers, in order to do not present unacceptable risks. The
modifications have been carried out in the infrastructure, in order to adapt the new vehicles performance in the future
smart cities. A description of the general control architecture and technical/functional specifications of the ARTS
involved in the demonstrator is presented. This paper describes the achievements and results of this demonstration,
showing the viability of this kind of vehicles in a near future.
