Developing a Bus Driver Training Program for a Driver Assistive System

Minnesota has the highest number of Bus-only Shoulder (BOS) miles the United States. BOS lanes, which are slightly wider than the width of a bus, were established to allow buses to bypass traffic congestion. This paper describes an iterative methodology that was employed to create a training program for operating a Driver Assistive System (DAS) designed to facilitate driving a bus on BOS lanes.
