Purpose and goal

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** The purpose of this project is to start up a mobility solution sharply in a community and together with users. The first step is to work with users and set up deliveries that are remotely controlled with human monitoring to study behavior. Then further research and switching to operate the system completely autonomously after approval by Lund municipality and the Swedish Transport Agency. Business models and policy options that facilitate the scaling up and replication of autonomous deliveries from a business perspective must be developed.

Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** Permission from the Swedish Transport Agency and Lund municipality for the granting of autonomous driving without a human supervisor. Custom prototypes of robots working in Veberöd. The test runs will be a demonstrator for autonomous deliveries for large parts of the project life (public and stakeholders). Lunds municipality will use the results to understand how they can better achieve the 2030 environmental goals. The School of Economics will contribute to the systems perspective and produce an academic publication.
