The expansion of the proving ground in St. Valentin marks an important step toward the mobility of the future. A state-of-the-art test infrastructure for automated vehicle technologies is to be created in order to develop, test and verify safe, connected and autonomous driving in Austria.
Digitrans and msg Plaut will cooperate in the field of automated safety and vehicle testing in the future and use the joint network for more extensive cooperations and projects.
Until now, the use of automated commercial vehicles for testing has been limited. One of the major hurdles up to now has been legislation. At the end of last year, DigiTrans GmbH worked together with Reform-Werke on a change in the law that is unique in Europe.
In a practical use case, research is being conducted in Upper Austria with the two project partners BRP Rotax and the freight forwarder Schenker on a public transport section with an autonomous transport vehicle to find a hub-to-hub logistics application suitable for everyday use and independent of weather conditions.
In the future, automated freight mobility and autonomous vehicles will be the key to being able to implement more environmentally friendly concepts for traffic and freight transport. The new technologies offer numerous opportunities for the sustainable development…
