So, we have officially lost the count of companies working on autonomous technologies all around the world. However, self-driving transportation is a space that numerous corporations are keen on exploring.
In one such recent instance, Delphi Automotive has partnered with Paris-based mobility services provider, Transdev, to develop an on-demand fully automated shuttle service. The former will bring its automated driving platform on board, by utilizing the Centralized Sensing, Planning, and Localization (CSLP) platform that it had developed with Mobileye.
It will integrate this platform into Transdev’s mobility service vehicles, including a centralized computer running Delphi’s Ottomatika vehicle control software, a comprehensive sensor suite and all the required connectivity and data devices based on Control-Tec real-time analytics, Movimento’s secure, over-the-air (OTA) technologies and Mobileye’s REM technology. Glen De Vos, Delphi senior vice president, and chief technology officer, said,
With Transdev’s deep understanding of mobility operations, this collaboration will further strengthen our AMoD and data management capabilities, while expanding our automated driving platform to include a variety of different vehicle types.
While Transdev will contribute with its deep expertise in mobility operations, by utilizing its Universal Routing Engine (URE) and remote control-command software, including intelligent infrastructure and additional software modules dedicated to public transportation.
They will share knowledge of automated, mobility-on-demand (AMoD) systems to develop driverless vehicles, a driverless vehicle infrastructure solution (DVIS) and cloud infrastructure to support a commercial AMoD system that can operate globally.
Yann Leriche, Chief Performance Officer and lead of the B2C business line at Transdev group said,
With Delphi’s expertise in driverless technology, we will accelerate our capabilities to develop a global autonomous transportation system, from client interface to vehicle intelligence.
Together they will introduce the first EU driverless, on-demand mobility service on an open road by collaborating on pilot programs in Paris-Saclay and Rouen (Normandy) France. In Paris-Saclay, they will collaborate on the development of a first mile, last-mile on-demand solution between a conventional railway station and the Paris-Saclay plateau and campus.
