Flow optimized depot operation

Purpose and goal:

Scania is investigating technology for flow-optimized bus depots with aim of reducing operating costs in the depots and at the same time reducing repair costs due to human error during tight parking manoeuvres. Demonstration is planned to be carried out with a Scania bus and test site in Finland (Unikie Åbo, autonomous research centre).

Expected results and effects:

Scania wants to evaluate and test the development of buses that are capable and compatible for Intelligent Transport Systems, standard ISO23374. Approach and implementation:

The work will take place in close collaboration between Scania and the supplier´s team. A project bus will be rebuilt with both hardware and software compatible with ISO 23374 and the supplier´s system, and then tested from a number of different perspectives and eligibility requirements from Scania´s side. After completed tests, a demonstration of the bus will be carried out where we present and show the driving in a flow-optimized bus depot.
