Project Description
The amount of goods to be delivered in metropolitan areas will increase dramatically in the next few years. Deliveries are more frequent and fragmented, especially because of a skyrocketing use of e-commerce. Todays logistics operations in city centres lead to very negative effects: increase in traffic congestion; safety problems for pedestrians, bikers and deliverers; air and noise pollution. To tackle these challenges, the LogiSmile partners will demonstrate in pilot cities a fully autonomous delivery system consisting of an autonomous hub vehicle that works in cooperation with smaller autonomous delivery devices. To control the robots and remotely coordinate the fleet operations, a back-end control centre will be piloted too. The robots and remote back-end control centre will be tested in different urban environments. This autonomous delivery system will reduce delivery costs, parking problems, emissions and congestion. It will ensure flexible, rapid, and convenient deliveries.
