General Introduction
Autonomous-rail Rapid Transit (ART) is a novel type of rail transit system with medium-low transport capacity invented by CRRC Zhuzhou Institute which has been keeping up with market trends and inheriting top-class rail transit technologies. ART is highly fitting the needs of urban public transport with the advantages of small infrastructure investment, short construction period, and flexible scheduling by breaking the application limitation of rail transit.

Technological innovation and intelligent application
Rubber Wheel + Virtual Track
ART has overcome the virtual track technology of electronic guidance and trajectory following, achieving precise movement of rubber wheel along the virtual track on the road without physical rail constraints.
Replace steel wheel + steel track with rubber wheel + virtual track

Automatic Tracking
Through automatic tracking control, the vehicle's axles can steadily track the perceived path and operate along it.
The ART fully embodies the concept of environmental protection throughout the design, production, operation, and recycling stages of its life cycle.
