Abstract: This report defines the transit service needs that can be met by use of lane assistance systems and the requirements that these systems must meet in order to be useful and safe. The work is based on review of the existing literature and research on the subject of lane assistance, combined with case studies of several transit properties that could potentially benefit from use of lane assist systems. The project team has conducted workshops involving participation by a broad mix of people representing the transit properties in order to learn about the needs that they perceive, as well as both benefits and risks that they perceive associated with use of lane assist technology. Because these transit properties are significantly different from each other, their needs are also diverse.
