The technology is expected to be market-ready in Working with our partners, we are using valuable synergies to digitalize the depot and reduce time-consuming on-site shunting. The research and development project is being implemented at the depot operated by Verkehrsbetriebs Potsdam.
The participation of the state capital and its transport company shows how the spirit of innovation is thriving in Potsdam. If this new technology can be used in the coming years, it could help transport companies modernize local public transport. The research project that resulted from this initiative aims at developing a digital depot on the basis of self-driving trams. The technical feasibility of the concept will be demonstrated with autonomous service functions, such as moving a tram through a washing facility to a siding.
Making depot automation commercially viable is thus a first stage of introducing autonomous driving. Right from the start, the project is considering the various legal and economic conditions that must be fulfilled for the approval and operation of an autonomously driving tram. The consortium partners have divided the project into different work packages.
