ASFINAG and Digitrans plan further steps towards automated driving in Upper Austria
With ASFINAG, Eva Tatschl-Unterberger, Managing Director of DigiTrans GmbH, has brought an important partner on board to push the development of a real test field for automated driving on highways in the Linz central region. The cooperation is intended to help create the basis for safe automated driving.
Digitrans and ANDATA bundle joint know-how for automated driving
Digitrans and ANDATA are combining their competencies to jointly develop new business areas and services related to automated and driverless transport systems in the future. The focus is on complementing and combining existing solutions with new approaches to developments in transport automation.
Clear track for testing automated commercial vehicles
Until now, the use of automated commercial vehicles for testing has been limited. One of the major hurdles up to now has been legislation. At the end of last year, DigiTrans GmbH worked together with Reform-Werke on a change in the law that is unique in Europe.
Autonomous goods transport is coming to Upper Austria
In a practical use case, research is being conducted in Upper Austria with the two project partners BRP Rotax and the freight forwarder Schenker on a public transport section with an autonomous transport vehicle to find a hub-to-hub logistics application suitable for everyday use and independent of weather conditions.
Sustainable development through automated freight mobility
In the future, automated freight mobility and autonomous vehicles will be the key to being able to implement more environmentally friendly concepts for traffic and freight transport. The new technologies offer numerous opportunities for the sustainable development…
Hub-to-hub transport with autonomous transport systems
In a practical use case, research is being conducted in Upper Austria with the two project partners BRP Rotax and the freight forwarder Schenker on a public transport section with an autonomous transport vehicle to find a hub-to-hub logistics application suitable for everyday use and independent of weather conditions.
Sustainable platooning with „Aeroptimizer“
The “Aeroptimizer” platooning project calculates the ideal platoon arrangement for greater efficiency and higher savings potential in the areas of CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. In addition, the drive-independent calculation model enables fair, savings and responsibility-dependent charging models to be derived.
Functional use cases at intersections
To test functional use cases of autonomous vehicles and commercial vehicles, a controlled intersection with 4 junction arms and an uncontrolled intersection with 3 junction arms is implemented on the test track in St. Valentin.
