Lehrte, April 19th 2013 — Driverless and accident free — safe autonomous logistics and transport vehicles are the goal of the joint project SaLsA(link is external), where Götting is the coordinator. In order to enhance the conventional safety concept the data of the vehicle sensors is combined with stationary sensors using a sensor fusion.
The completion of the project time span matched the Hannover Messe 2013 and so Götting has used the opportunity to present the results of the joint project on a huge outdoor arena and on our indoor booth. On both booths stationary sensors ensured the safe collective operation of automated vehicles. They were also used to make sure, no person, either visitor or staff, were harmed.
We’d like to use the opportunity to once more thank our project partners for the successful collaboration.

SaLsA Demonstration
In order to enhance the conventional safety concept the data of the vehicle sensors is combined with stationary sensors using a sensor fusion.
The stationary sensors send there data to the vehicle that then can adjust its speed or avoids obstacles. This enables the fast and safe collective operation of driverless vehicles in a working environment with external traffic outside of production halls and depots.
The challenging part is the integration of the data from the distributed sensors to build a meaningful and complete model. Then suitable simulation methods are applied real-time for the prediction of system states. In the future these technologies can be used for various applications, e.g. the automation of ground conveyors, tractors and people movers.
Part of the public technology program AUTONOMIK — Autonome und simulationsbasierte Systeme für den Mittelstand, funded by the The Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology
based on a resolution of the German Parliament.
