Shared autonomous vehicles are a game changer for urban mobility. Applied Autonomy helps cities and transport companies bring autonomous vehicles into their transport systems.
Deploying shared autonomous vehicles in urban areas
At a glance
- Full service support for the implementation of autonomous vehicle fleets
- Strategic and operational support using advanced communications technology
- Creates optimal return on investment for sustainable transportation
Urban traffic congestion is increasingly problematic for transportation providers and their passengers. Residents contend with decreased mobility, as well as limited availability of parking spaces and green spaces within the city.
Due to rapid advances in autonomous vehicle technology, shared, connected and cooperative automated vehicles are quickly evolving from a theoretical to a viable solution – with pilot programmes in over 74 cities. However, the design and implementation of autonomous fleet infrastructure requires expertise that many operators lack.
Transforming urban mobility with autonomous vehicles
Applied Autonomy provides transport operators with competency, training, testing and demonstration services for the construction and implementation of an autonomous vehicle fleet.
The company uses sophisticated technology to share vital information between vehicles within a network, collecting and transmitting data about road conditions, weather, detours, traffic and other factors that could affect a fleet’s efficiency and performance.
This technology can also be used by cities to implement dynamic road pricing, thus incentivising sustainable travel practises such as ride-sharing and public transportation.
Concrete benefits
Applied Autonomy reduces uncertainty for cities and transport companies by providing guidance on development costs, risk assessment and transport authority requirements. The company tests and analyses fleet performance under real-life conditions, reducing risk and optimising safety and performance. Its data sharing technology enables each vehicle in the fleet to perform at maximum efficiency for sustainable urban transportation.
Market potential
The global autonomous vehicle market revenue is expected to grow at a CAGR of 39.6 per cent during the forecast period 2017-2027. According to a 2017 study released by Intel, the revenue stream from autonomous vehicles is predicted to scale from a USD 800 billion in 2035 to USD 7 trillion by 2050.
Founded in Norway in 2017, Applied Autonomy has five employees with expertise in logistics, communications, business development, autonomy, system architecture, cloud based solutions for transport and AI.
Advancing the Sustainable Development Goals
- Good health and well-being
Shared mobility reduces ambient air pollution from emissions, improves passenger safety, reduces traffic and frees parking spaces for use as green areas. Autonomous vehicles increase the safety of vulnerable road users such as children, people with disabilities and the disabled.
- Industry, innovation and infrastructure
As part of a well-functioning urban environment, transport systems must be able to move people both quickly and efficiently. Applied Autonomy has the expertise to help build a city’s autonomous fleet infrastructure.
- Sustainable cities and communities
Urban expansion has brought energy consumption and ambient air pollution to unsustainable levels. Shared mobility enables cities to reduce consumption of energy through smart transportation.
