Use Cases
1. Developing and simulating a Route Planner
Route Planner: CCAV carrying a single able-bodied passenger
- An ego vehicle starts from the passenger’s location and drives to the destination
- Route is optimised through a trade-off between distance, travel time and traffic conditions
- Realistic traffic data is used to avoid congested roads and improve efficiency
Route Planner: CCAV carrying a single passenger with disabilities
- An ego vehicle follows a route optimised to balance shortest distance and ride comfort
- A trade-off is applied to minimise sharp turns, reducing discomfort for passengers with reduced mobility.
- Traffic-aware planning ensures both comfort and efficiency
CCAV Carpooling
- A single ego vehicle transports up to 5 passengers in a realistic traffic scenario
- Pickup and drop-off points are sequenced to maximise efficiency
- The route is optimised to minimise distance and avoid congested streets
- A traffic-aware trade-off guides decision-making for both routing and passenger coordination
2. Innovative urban freight transport and logistics
A truck driver is responsible for transporting and delivering products to customers, ensuring accuracy and timeliness.
- A truck carries a fleet of robots to an HUB.
- The system is based on the use of small autonomous delivery robots to cover the last mile to a customer.
