Green transition and safety requirements challenge our transport system. Today's system is still largely based on non-renewable energy, and nine out of ten road fatalities are due to human error. Urban densification also requires more efficient mobility.

Autonomous and fully or partially unmanned vehicles are one of the most promising solutions to all these challenges.

The development of automated transportation systems is technology-driven, and it is happening quickly. At the same time, automation of the transport system will affect both social life and regulations.

SINTEF works interdisciplinary to meet the challenges and show the possibilities of automated transport systems on land and at sea. We have expertise in all means of transport and develop solutions for connected, automated transport chains.
