As part of the 6th public call of the TREND Program of the Ministry of Industry and Trade to support industrial research and experimental development, the Technology Agency supported the project of our center “Automated management center for minibuses as autonomous MoD”.
The project aims at future effective reduction of individual transport, which often emerges where it is inefficient for PT companies to create PT lines. This can be realized through the deployment of automated minibuses (AM) in the form of MoD. The need for their efficient management and supervision is obvious then, thus semi-automated control center to ensure efficient and safe operation of AMs is the main goal of the project. Such center will focus on dynamic routing of AM lines, identification of incidents in the vehicle and methods for teleoperation, which are specifically necessary for the safe and reliable operation of AM both from the point of view of passengers and from the point of view of operation in the road traffic system.
Other participants of the project are VDT Technology, Czech technical university in Prague, Brno Technical university and SmartPlan.
