Norwegian authority approves driverless Karsan e-Atak operation without safety driver - Sustainable Bus
"The deployment involves the Karsan e-ATAK platform equipped with autonomous driving software supplied by ADASTEC and supported by the xFlow fleet management system developed by Applied Autonomy."
"The vehicle is integrated into Stavanger's public transport network since 2024, following deployment's kickoff in 2022, marking a transition from supervised autonomous operations to fully driverless service."
"The xFlow system functions as a centralized fleet management platform, enabling real-time monitoring and operational control of autonomous vehicles, including functionalities for remote passenger assistance."
The Norwegian Public Roads Administration has authorized Vy and Kolumbus to operate an autonomous bus on public routes without a safety driver. This deployment utilizes the Karsan e-ATAK platform with ADASTEC's autonomous driving software and Applied Autonomy's xFlow fleet management system. The transition to fully driverless service is planned for 2026, with type approval targeted for 2027. The xFlow platform enables real-time monitoring and remote supervision of multiple vehicles, integrating passenger assistance and operational oversight into a centralized system.
