End of the project: 31.12.2024
ABOUT THE PROJECT
One building block for an integrated and more sustainable transport system is the combination of automated public transport services and goods transportation in local public transport.
For legal and safety reasons, automated buses for passenger transport and transport robots for the transportation of goods still have to be accompanied by natural persons, meaning that the technologies generally do not yet offer any economic advantage. In order to achieve the goal of optimal use of resources across all modes of transport, autonomous functions must be expanded and the interoperable networking of individual means of transport must be improved. A control centre that integrates the monitoring and optimization of vehicle deployment for different purposes and for different vehicle manufacturers creates the basis for this.
The transport robot platform from the TaBuLa-LOG project, which has already been designed in-house, is available as a test field.
TaBuLa-LOGplus creates better overall networking and coordination of the various vehicles in passenger and goods transport through a control center implementation for automated buses and transport robots. AI-based methods are used for this. Furthermore, the degree of automation of the transport robots will be increased through further technical developments.
The TaBuLa-LOGplus project is scheduled to run for over two years, from April 1, 2022 to December 31, 2024, and is being funded by the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport with 2.34 million euros as part of the funding guideline “A future-proof, sustainable mobility system through automated driving and networking”.
