Smart mobility solutions for sustainable cities

The way people and goods are moving in cities is changing, and smart digital transportation solutions are necessary to make our cities more sustainable. Autonomous vehicles can be one part of the solution and pave the way to more sustainable transportation with emerging mobility services and new travel patterns.

With a focus on public transport, we explore the possibilities of autonomous and connected vehicles in cooperation with our partners. Since our first project Autopiloten in 2016 we continue to build upon a unique collaboration between some of Sweden’s most prominent and well-known organizations within the fields of mobility and technology. Our partnerships with the City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm are also important success factors that ensure that the work can be utilized and transferred into a more sustainable transport system.

We are currently in the process of deploying and testing automated 5G-connected electric minibuses for public transport.  Our main objective Is to develop and demonstrate the safe monitoring capabilities of 5G technology. By removing the driver from the vehicle, we aim to release resources for Improving public transportation services
