Autonomous urban mobility: Taking digital assurance to the next level

 

The TRUSST scope is marked with the dotted line. It includes the autonomous ferries, docking stations, remote-control centre, communication links and cloud-based digital twin of the entire system, as an integral part of a wider ecosystem of people, technology, organisations and nature.

From a user perspective, the case for autonomous, zero-emission ferries is very appealing. Such vessels could solve both the transport and environmental needs of cities and local communities, while helping to decongest heavy traffic in urban centres.

The primary objective of TRUSST is to innovate an integrated assurance framework that takes as point of departure the insight that autonomous transport systems are formed by a complex and interdependent system of people, technology, organisations, regulators and the natural environment.

Building trust in robots to measure, monitor, and regulate the ocean

 

Asgeir J. Sørensen, professor at NTNU and director of AMOS and Bjørn Tore Markussen, CEO C4IR Ocean

A new partnership between the Centre for the 4th Industrial Revolution Ocean and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) has been established to establish trust in ocean data collected from autonomous underwater vehicles.

Using ships themselves to monitor and predict waves

Waves present an enormous challenge for the world’s roughly 91,000 commercial vessels, but predicting sea conditions is challenging. A new approach uses the movements of ships themselves to create an online estimate of what kinds of waves ships can expect.
