Lingang DRT
The Lingang Medium Transport Volume (), also known as Lingang Digital-rail Rapid Transit (Lingang DRT), is a rapid transit system operating within Nanhui New City, Lingang in Pudong District, Shanghai, China. It started operations on 30 June 2021, and is operated by the Shanghai Lingang Public Transport Company (, abbreviated in Chinese as 临港公交). The system operates as an Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit, autonomous rail rapid transit (ART) system, but conventional bus rapid transit-specification buses currently run on the system too. The Lingang DRT utilizes the intelligent digital rail transportation system (iDRT) developed by Shanghai Electric Group Intelligent Transportation Technology Co,Ltd , which uses magnetic markers encoded with digital information as virtual tracks and rubber-tired electric vehicles as vehicle carriers. It adopts the operation and control method of modern tramways, and has the advantages of orbitalization, digitalization and intelligentization. ...

Autonomous Rail Rapid Transit
Autonomous rail rapid transit (ART) is a lidar (light detection and ranging) guided bi-articulated bus system for urban passenger transport. Developed and manufactured by CRRC through CRRC Zhuzhou Institute Co Ltd, it was unveiled in Zhuzhou in the Hunan province on June 2, 2017. ART is specifically referred to as a train or rapid transit as Lingang digital rail rapid transit and electric road by its manufacturer, however the public describes it as a bus or trolleybus and bus rapid transit. Its exterior is composed of individual fixed sections joined by articulated gangways, resembling a rubber-tyred tram and translohr. The system is labelled as "autonomous" in English, however, the models in operation are optically guided and feature a driver on board. Despite "rail" in the name, the system does not use rails. Automated rapid transit systems (ARTs) can operate independently without the need for a guiding sensor and as a result, they fall under the classification of ...
