Italy is set to get its first self-driving public transport system soon, with electric shuttles now hitting the streets Turin As a pilot project for testing. autonomous vehicle Developed by a French start-up Navya, and can carry up to 14 people (11 sitting and 3 standing). However, it will be tested without passengers till October 2022.
The autonomous vehicle can drive in normal urban traffic and use its GPS and other sensors to detect obstacles, cars, bicycles or pedestrians, but during this pilot project, a joypad will be used if necessary. A driver will always be present to operate the vehicle using , Following the trials, the shuttle will be available by March 2023 on a two-kilometre route to the hospital area of Turin.
The Shuttle can reach a maximum speed of 25 kmph and has an average battery life of around 9 hours. From October 2022 to March 2023, it will be in service for 6 hours on weekdays and 4 hours on holidays and public holidays, with rides via Autonomo. GTT There is an app, which will soon be made available for Android and iOS devices. The vehicle is also accessible to people with disabilities, thanks to a walking platform that allows people to board the vehicle.
Pilot project in Turin, coordinated by Lynx Foundation and provides flexible on-demand public transportation (route, as well as bus times, is predetermined but not fixed) on autonomous vehicles, managed by GTT. The experiment takes place as part of the show, a project funded by The European Union Within the Horizon 2020 programme, which aims to support the transition to sustainable urban transport through the circulation of a fleet of autonomous vehicles.
