FLEX
The FLEX project aims to improve flexible, accessible and affordable public transport in the German-Dutch border region, with its core activity being the integration of automated transport solutions, such as teleoperation and Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM), into existing public transport services.
FLEX is made possible by financial support from Interreg Germany-Netherlands.
ATLAS
The ATLAS project focuses on the growing demand for safe, sustainable and efficient transport solutions in heavy industry. In ATLAS, MST and V-Tron are working together on an add-on telecommunications system that is crucial for the operation of autonomous vehicles in mixed traffic environments, such as industrial sites.
ATLAS is made possible with a financial contribution from the MitZuid Stimulus programme.
CARE – TELE-OPERATED CRASH ABSORBER
The partners in CARE want to jointly realise a 5G use case with remote-controlled crash absorbers. 5G wireless networks meet the high demands placed on the use case of tele-operated vehicles. The use of tele-operated crash absorbers during road works will increase the safety and efficiency of these activities.

LODYT – LOCAL DIGITAL TWIN
In the Local Dynamic Twin (LODYT) project, a partnership of companies and a knowledge institution is developing a completely new control unit for goods transport trailers, with a sustainable housing, a data set for communication with the tractor unit and other vehicle units in the combination, V2X communication and an interface/software for drivers and fleet management.

DITM - WP2
DITM – TELE-AUTOMATION
The goal of WP2 of project Digital Infrastructure for Future Mobility (DITM) is to use automation and telecontrol to develop an advanced use case that can precede fully autonomous vehicles. Currently available technology provides opportunities to automate certain driving tasks in the vehicle, but has limitations where a driver must take control.

ISA
ISA is one of the mandatory ADAS that will apply to every newly developed car from next month. What is special about our ISA is that it allows the information to also be used to limit the car’s maximum speed, preventing drivers from speeding.

Teleoperated Trailer-Mover
Together with Verhagen BV and TNO, V-tron wants to focus on developing a solution at component and system level for the Teleoperated Trailer-Mover in order to achieve an optimal composition of the total system and guarantee the effectiveness and safety of automated solutions in this type of environment. One of the technological challenges of automation in enclosed areas is accurate, robust, low-latency and reliable localisation. This standard solution must also be scalable and modular.

HUBRIS – Human-like ADS
HUBRIS is a collaboration between 18 partners and 5 supporting organisations to promote the use of Automated Driving Systems (ADS) by enabling the systems to exhibit more human-like behaviour; the human counterpart.
HUBRIS stands for HUman-like Behaviour of Robotic In-vehicle Systems: the development of a high-level self-learning control system, namely the “human counterpart”, to bridge the gap between drivers and ADS.

SMARTZONE BUFFER
The city of the future must work with interventions and no longer allow traffic safety, livability and climate to be compromised. Smart steering will have to take place already at the “gate. Traffic must be smartly guided and trucks without reservations for loading and unloading or insufficient opportunity for safe driving/maneuvering in zones must be barred.
