Project

iDolly

Period
1 September 2017–31 December 2020
Project manager
Per Larsson

In this project researchers from Chalmers and Volvo Group, in collaboration with several other companies, will develop technologies for transporting containers on public roads, completely autonomous, without drivers. The tests will be conducted at AstaZero test track and at Viared Industrial Park. A truck with double trailers, coupled with a dolly, runs the goods from the port in Gothenburg. At the transshipment center in Viared, the dolly and the rear trailer are disconnected. The disconnection is also planned to be carried out automatically. The automated dolly will then drive the goods to the customer in Viareds Industrial Park. SAFER's research infrastructure, the vehicle lab Revere, will be responsible for planning and carrying out the tests, which are scheduled to start in the fall of 2019.
