Title:

AVINT: Autonomous vehicles integrated within the urban context

Program:

EPAnEK 2014-2020 – Action "Research-Create-Innovate"

Duration:

36 months

Summary:

In the AVINT project, participating partners will study the urban transport context in Trikala city and will implement a bus line supported by automated buses in a full integration mode with the city transport network. The specific bus line will provide a viable service for the city interconnecting the city center with the Sport Science university campus.

To accomplish this, AVINT will perform all the necessary tasks: feasibility study, implementation study, infrastructure adaptation, renting and adaptation of automated buses prior to coordination of pilot tests. The pilot results will be thoroughly analyzed with regard to their impact on the Trikala traffic. AVINT will also examine the system expansion in the City of Trikala and will provide a Roadmap to implementation in other Greek cities.

AVINT has been co‐financed by the European Union and Greek national funds through the Operational Program Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, under the call RESEARCH – CREATE - INNOVATE (project code:Τ1EDK-04395)
