  Safe, environmentally conscious and flexible, these are the central
requirements for the future mobility. In the European border region between
Germany, France and Luxembourg, mobility in the world of work and pleasure is a
decisive factor. It must be simple, affordable and available to all. The
automation and intelligent connection of road traffic plays an important role
in this. Due to the distributed settlement structure with many small towns and
village and a few central hot spots, a fully available public transport is very
complex and expensive and only a few bus and train lines exist. In this
context, the trinational research project TERMINAL aims to establish a
cross-border automated minibus in regular traffic and to explore the user
acceptance for commuter traffic. Additionally, mobility on demand services are
tested, and both will be embedded within the existing public transport
infrastructure.
