This document reports the improvement and implementation of the magnetic lane-guidance and precision docking system on a 60ft articulated bus and the extensive testing on a 0.9 mile test track installed with magnets along southbound East 14th Street, San Leandro, California between 139th and 150th Avenue on a real-world operation setting. The extensive testing in the real-world setting provided valuable opportunities to discover and thus resolved a number of issues that might have prevented the system from achieving high repeatability and reliability in the future deployment on a large, public scale.
