The delivery robot Hugo and the self-driving bus are back – together. From mid-September to May 2023, a line of self-driving buses will run on campus. And for a few weeks this fall, the delivery robot and the bus will also be tested together to see how they can work together on campus.
Eighteen partners work together in the project SAT, Collaborative Autonomous Transport, which is financed by Vinnova through the innovation program Drive Sweden. The tests are also partially financed through SHOW, an EU Horizon 2020 project. The aim is to see how goods and passenger transport can work together in an urban environment.
Between mid-September 2022 and May 2023, the line will serve the campus area. From mid-October, Västtrafik's line 68 will operate as a round trip from Chalmersplatsen, weekdays between 07.30 and 17.00. The trip is free of charge. Stops: Chalmersplatsen - Sven Hultin's Place - Library - Kemigården - Library - Chalmers Transport Center - Sven Hultin's Place - Chalmersplatsen
During a few weeks in October, tests are also carried out where the self-driving vehicles interact with transport robots that originate from Chalmers Transport Central.
