Safe20

The automation of depots (e.g. logistics centres, factory premises, ports and airports) will become increasingly important in the coming years and will play a major economic role. The technical feasibility has already been demonstrated in individual applications. However, a holistic safety concept coordinated with the permitting authorities is missing for regular operation. The aim of the Safe20 research project is to develop and implement a safety concept that for the first time allows regular operation of fully automated vehicles in depots with a minimum speed of 20 km/h in mixed operation.
