(Boursier.com) — Navya and its partner Charlatte Manutention, both forming the subsidiary Charlatte Autonom, announce the deployment of their Tract Autonom AT135 solution at Frankfurt Airport, Germany, as part of their collaboration with airport operator Fraport.
The Tract Charlatte Autonom AT 135 will connect the future Terminal 3 to Terminal 2 at Frankfurt airport over 8 km. Two paths have been deployed, for two different use cases:
– 1 trip with a convoy of baggage trailers, on an indoor and outdoor route.
– 1 trip on an outdoor cargo flow only, with large cargo trailers.
The solution will therefore have to cross paths with other vehicles, tractors, tankers, ground support equipment (GSE) and, of course, the airport site team. These routes integrate the different scenarios that an autonomous vehicle can encounter on an airport site and allow the solution to be validated in real conditions by evaluating the technology, safety and economic profitability of the vehicle.
At the end of this experiment, Fraport will be able to project the solution in the short term on different types of flows (luggage or freight).
