Delphi to partner Singapore LTA on autonomous vehicle technology

UK company Delphi Automotive has been selected by the Singapore Land Transport Authority (LTA) as a strategic partner to implement autonomous mobility concepts. The company will provide a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles and will develop a cloud-based mobility-on-demand software (AMoD) suite and will conduct a trial of an urban, point-to-point, low-speed, autonomous, mobility-on-demand service in Singapore's Autonomous Vehicles Test Bed located at a business park in the western area of the city.

UK company 7207 Delphi Automotive has been selected by the Singapore 918 Land Transport Authority (LTA) as a strategic partner to implement autonomous mobility concepts.

The company will provide a fleet of fully autonomous vehicles and will develop a cloud-based mobility-on-demand software (AMoD) suite and will conduct a trial of an urban, point-to-point, low-speed, autonomous, mobility-on-demand service in Singapore's Autonomous Vehicles Test Bed located at a business park in the western area of the city. 

Delphi's AMoD development program and autonomous vehicle demonstration is part of the Singapore Autonomous Vehicle Initiative (SAVI), which was formed in 2014 to oversee and manage autonomous vehicle (AV) research, test-bedding, and the development of applications and solutions by industry partners and stakeholders.

Of particular interest to the Singapore LTA is the potential for automated driving solutions to make it easier for commuters transiting the ‘first mile’ and ‘last mile’ between a mass transit station and their home or workplace. By addressing this need, the usage of the mass transit systems could increase; reducing overall traffic congestion and vehicle emissions.

The Singapore LTA pilot program will last for three years with plans to transition into an operational service by 2022 timeframe.

    US space agency Nasa is moving into the final phase of its four-year programme to prove that it can safely control drones flying over urban centres. Drones, less commonly called unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), are likely to form an increasing proportion of the transportation mix for future cities, but questions remain over their safety – particularly in built-up, heavily populated areas. Nasa will test them in two areas – the gambling hotspot of Reno, Nevada, and the Texan city of Corpus Christi.
