The innovation institute Drive Sweden also wants to improve traffic in rural areas.
Drive Sweden is a consortium consisting of 140 companies and institutions dedicated to modern mobility. This includes companies like 2 getthere or Dynning. Together we develop solutions for the transportation of goods and people.
They want to push seven projects that are committed to improving rural transport Artificial intelligence dedicate. With that they want Traffic flows be better controlled.
A project in the Swedish district of Västerbotten is being sponsored by the KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Einride operated. Future traffic systems in sparsely populated areas are to be introduced on-demand with the help of autonomous and electrically powered vehicles. Also Drones should be part of it.
The Association of Research Institutes in Sweden (RISE) and the Swedish transport authorities are working together to integrate autonomous driving into public transport. Another project called DELTA aims to investigate people’s behavior in relation to pooling. Keolis (Navya), Kista Science City and Ericsson are part of the project.
The intersection is the subject of the project in Uppsala. Swarco and data specialist Viscando are working together to increase safety with the help of sensors and traffic management. They also want to use artificial intelligence there.
The project of Veoneer, CEVT (China Euro Vehicle Technology) and Volvothat combine the sensor data from networked vehicles into a current picture of the traffic situation. Furthermore, CEVT wants to demonstrate together with Momentum Dynamics Corporation the fast charging of electric vehicles in autonomous parking. No human assistance is required for this automation.
Public transport operator Västtrafik is working with the Swedish public transport research center, K2, and the University of Malmo to research autonomous e-driving.
In Stockholm, a project is being carried out by the tech company Univrses in cooperation with Taxi Stockholm. You use camera sensors from Taxi fleetto one digital twin of Stockholm to create.
