INSITUA
Automated Vehicles have the potential to significantly improve the competitivity of industrial park in a sustainable way. However, there are still considerable technical challenges that discourage companies to make significant investments in AVs. To overcome these challenges, the USN in collaboration with SEMCON AS are actively working on an industrial based project (the INSITUA) funded by Viken region. INSITUA project aims to develop a centralized system able to better integrate Automated Vehicles and human workers in industrial parks. INSITUA has the potential to support the Viken’s industrial advancement as well as achieve the carbon neutrality strategy of the region and Norway
