"At TECNALIA, we are actively working on the decarbonisation of the transportation of goods by road"
We are developing hydrogen-based technological solutions to drive the smart and sustainable mobility of HGV fleets
Alberto Justo, researcher at TECNALIA and PhD student in Intelligent Systems at the University of Alcalá, has presented the paper on "An Infrastructure-based Localisation Method for Articulated Vehicles" at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) in Milan. This paper addresses an articulated vehicle localisation algorithm based on LiDAR sensors from outside the vehicle: it provides a robust system for autonomous parking manoeuvres at logistics centres, without the need to modify the vehicle.
Both parking and long-distance driving in heavy articulated vehicles is often a complex task, due to the dynamics of such vehicles. Therefore, automated solutions allow for more efficient and safer driving in different environments, such as logistics centres, hangars, etc. The SHINE-FLEET initiative, led by Técnicas Reunidas, is actively working on the decarbonisation of the transportation of goods by road.
At TECNALIA, we are the technological developer within HGV autonomous mobility: from the localisation of heavy goods vehicles to their automated control.
It is a technological solution that does not depend on the vehicle's sensor system
This represents a totally innovative solution, as all solutions currently implemented rely on in-vehicle sensor technology. The development has been tested on three different classes of articulated vehicles, with real sensors and field implementation.
The Shine-Fleet project is partially funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation’s Centre for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) and the consortium is made up of FM Logistic, Avia Ingeniería, Carbotainer, Cikautxo, Idneo, Fractalia and Técnicas Reunidas.
