Abstract: This report documents the information collected by an FTA-led delegation to several European organizations that have had experience in the development and operation of transit lane assist systems based on three different technologies, including (1) optical guidance in Rouen, France, (2) magnetic guidance in Eindhoven, Netherlands and (3) mechanical guidance in Essen, Germany. It includes summaries of the briefings prepared by the European hosts in response to questions from the delegation, the discussions the delegation had with their hosts and observations based on riding the systems in public service. This report is accompanied by a CD ROM that includes the presentations given by the various hosts during the visit and pictures taken by the members of the delegation.
