EU grant for Auto-Shuttle participation in driverless public
transport initiative
Key role in EIT-funded Living Lab for Autonomous Public
Transport Project
Aurrigo International plc (AIM: AURR, the "Company" or
"Aurrigo"), a leading international provider of transport
technology solutions, has been awarded a EUR275,820 grant from the
European Institute of Innovation and Technology for its
participation in the Living Lab for Autonomous Public Transport
Project ("LivingLAPT").
The project will see Aurrigo's Auto-Shuttle autonomous passenger
transport vehicle running in Prague, Brno and Milton Keynes,
initially with a safety driver on board, while transitioning
towards the goal of remote supervision. The Aurrigo Auto-Shuttles
will be deployed from 19 September.
University College London is the academic partner for this
project which aims to build trust in autonomous driving, through a
robust international safety framework as well as promoting user
acceptance, in close collaboration with citizens, cities, transport
operators, industry, and policy makers.
By working with multiple cities across two countries, the
participants will gain a varied experience from different street
layouts, road conditions and public attitudes to autonomous
technology. It will also examine potential integration with trip
planning applications used in those cities.
David Keene, CEO of Aurrigo, commented :
"This project is an exciting opportunity to bring autonomous
public transport to European cities. Testing Auto-Shuttle's
capabilities in challenging environments such as the cobbled
streets of Prague will be a great demonstration of the capabilities
of our autonomous technology."
Bani Anvari , Professor of Intelligent Mobility at University
College London, added:
"Driverless shuttle vehicles have great potential for reducing
emissions and improving road safety within our cities, and we need
to build a regulatory and safety framework for their operation. The
LivingLAPT project will be important to build trust and acceptance
of these new technologies to help overcome the current barriers to
adoption."
