Bringing automated mobility into public transport isn’t just about technology—it’s about teamwork. The CAMINO-project is proving that strong partnerships are the foundation for making Automated Mobility on Demand (AMoD) a reality. Deliverable: AMoD Collaboration Framework
Who’s making it happen?
For AMoD to succeed, different players need to work together—local governments, national transport authorities, technology providers, and public transport operators. In both Almere (Netherlands) and Flanders (Belgium), this collaboration is already taking shape:
In Almere:
The Municipality of Almere is leading the way, setting the vision and policies.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management ensures regulations support innovation.
The RDW (Dutch Vehicle Authority) handles safety and legal approvals.
Public transport operators explore how AMoD can enhance their services.
In Flanders:
De Lijn, the public transport operator, is shaping the roadmap for automated mobility.
Belgian federal and regional mobility authorities oversee permits and safety regulations.
Technology suppliers and independent safety assessors ensure the system meets safety standards.
Local authorities and emergency services are involved in integrating AMoD into existing transport systems.
Solving challenges together
Launching an AMoD system comes with big questions: How do we fund it? How do we make it safe? How do we integrate it into the existing transport network? Both Almere and De Lijn are taking a structured, step-by-step approach, ensuring that safety, public trust, and financial sustainability are at the heart of their decisions.
A model for other cities
What makes CAMINO unique is that it’s not just about Almere or Flanders. The project is developing a blueprint that other cities and regions can use—helping public transport authorities across Europe prepare for the future of automated mobility.
