U.S. Reduces Traffic Congestion at the Biggest Event in Soccer with the Karsan Autonomous e-JEST!
Karsan, the world’s technology-focused mobility brand in next-generation public transportation, has begun providing service with its Autonomous e-JEST as part of ATL Spoke, Atlanta’s first autonomous public transportation pilot project. Bringing Karsan’s expertise in autonomous mobility to North America, the project will also serve as part of the transportation solutions supporting passenger mobility in the city during the period when the world’s largest soccer tournament is held. The ATL Spoke project, where the Autonomous e-JEST will carry out actual passenger transport, serves as a significant reference for the use of autonomous mobility in large-scale events. In Atlanta, Georgia, the Karsan Autonomous e-JEST, which has begun operations as part of Atlanta’s first autonomous public transportation pilot project, ATL Spoke, provides free passenger transportation between the MARTA West End Station and the Atlanta Beltline Southwest Trail. Karsan CEO Okan Baş, stated that the company is a leading brand in next-generation projects thanks to its innovative vision for autonomy and its experience in real-world operational conditions. “The ATL Spoke project serves as a significant milestone in demonstrating how autonomous technologies create value in actual passenger transport operations,” he said. “This project offers the opportunity to observe the performance of autonomous systems and their impact on the user experience in real-life scenarios for first- and last-mile transportation solutions, and it will also shape the future of urban mobility. Karsan Autonomous e-JEST will strengthen public transportation connections by providing high-frequency transportation services and contribute to a more accessible and integrated transportation ecosystem,” he said.
