Safety and innovation go hand in hand
We use state-of-the-art technologies to develop our system.
We test every area (software, hardware, vehicle) at varying levels of operation.
We are also committed to cybersecurity. It is incorporated in our process to ensure protection against digital attacks.
The system is equipped with an array of sensors such as radars, lidars and video cameras. They scan the surrounding environment continuously and provide data on road users such as cars, pedestrians, bicycles and other obstacles. The data enable the vehicle to behave accordingly in order to maintain the highest level of safety.
Active monitoring is a system that can automatically count passengers and detect dangerous situations, such as thefts, brawls, etc. In addition, the software ensures two-way communication between passengers and the remote operator.
The bus autonomy is designed in SAE level 4. It means that no human intervention is required, during activities in the operational design domain (ODD) – i.e. city traffic in our case. Studies show that about 90% of vehicle crashes are caused by human error. Autonomous systems will decrease the number of accidents.
Each passenger seat and the wheelchair space will be provided with seatbelts and sensors. This type of equipment will enhance passenger safety during the ride.
The emergency button will be an additional feature to increase the level of safety. The system will respond if a near-collision situation is detected or there is any other reason to stop the vehicle immediately.
The vehicle will have an emergency door that will open automatically if necessary. The door can also be opened manually in an emergency.
Multiple means of communication (screens and speakers inside and outside the vehicles) allow the vehicle to provide more information to users (e.g. planned route, the manoeuvres being performed). This will improve both understanding of vehicle behaviour and the sense of security among passengers.
With this software, the fleet of vehicles can be supervised from a control centre. A highly skilled remote operator will be able to supervise up to 10 vehicles and take over control in an unexpected situation. Moreover, the passengers will be able to communicate with the remote operator via a voice call.
