After months of design, production and field trials, the RobuTAINeR intelligent autonomous vehicle (IAV), developed by Intelligent Transportation for Dynamic Environment (InTrade) was successfully demonstrated during two public showings at the port of Rouen in France and Dublin Ferry port in Ireland.
RobuTAINeR is designed for container transport in small and medium-sized ports; the demonstrations enabled InTrade partners to show the operational effectiveness, capabilities and reliability of the RobuTAINeR in real port environments and its adaptability to different port areas and configurations. InTrade members believe the IAV could in future be used as a mode of urban transport, relieving congestion and providing an environmentally friendly public transport solution.
The US$9.5 million InTraDE project is co-financed by European Regional Development Funds under the north west Europe cooperation programme and brings together seven partners from France, Ireland, Belgium and the UK The project intends to design, test and validate innovative intelligent transport vehicle prototypes (autonomous and traditional) for use in port areas or urban-confined spaces in an effort to reduce traffic, improve operational effectiveness and mitigate adverse environmental effects.
