HONG KONG, Aug. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) and Citybus Limited (Citybus) today signed a key Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on research and development projects related to autonomous driving and Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology and to conduct live road tests on the Hong Kong Science Park to University MTR Station route and within the Kai Tak Development Area. These projects aim to establish a cost-effective and world-leading smart mobility solution, further enhancing Hong Kong's long-established and well-regarded public transportation system.

This inaugural collaboration between the two organisations seeks to leverage ASTRI's advanced technological intelligent mobility technologies and Citybus's expertise in developing and operating public transportation systems to establish a new model for transportation in Hong Kong. Citybus will support two ASTRI projects that have already secured funding approval from the HKSAR Government's Smart Traffic Fund. Citybus will engage with ASTRI to explore further intelligent mobility projects that can drive the digitalisation of public transportation operations and the broader application of artificial intelligence.
