COLUMBUSS COnnected Level 5 UnManned BUSeS

The COLUMBUSS autopilot objectifies and automates the operator in transport systems. Operating procedures are the system's algorithms. Thresholds are derived from human performance. The COLUMBUSS AI is transparent (white box), meaningful, and connects to existing certification processes, such as issuing a driver's license. This makes adoption easier, which supports commercialisation. Real-time certification by continuously monitoring the autopilots’ performance will maintain and possibly improve the stability of transport systems. Participation in the COLUMBUSS learning community entitles you to use shared sources of hardware and software. COLUMBUSS is an initiative of robotTUNER, the province of Groningen and Metropole Region Rotterdam Den Haag.
