The skyTran system has the potential to solve age-old safety problems associated with legacy transit but also raises new hazards that need to be addressed. This focus group will address the safety matters specific to the operation of large numbers of small autonomous vehicles operating at high speeds with minimal headways. We are looking for input from seasoned transit agency safety professionals at this early stage to help shape our thinking on safety and ensure we find the right balance for users, employees, and the public. Join us for an interactive discussion on skyTran’s current approach to safety and the safety solutions under consideration. We will cover critical areas, such as:

• Emergency evacuation
• Crashworthiness
• Fire life safety
• Headway
