PROJECT: ViDeLL
ViDeLL – Virtual Dedicated Logistics Lanes for Automated Freight Transport
in short
RESEARCH OBJEcTIVES
Objective 1
Develop a scalable concept for temporary virtual road sections that can be allocated to automated logistics vehicles during specific periods.
Objective 2
Integrate infrastructure technologies such as smart road markings and localized sensors to support secure, virtual lane implementation.
Objective 3
Produce dynamic algorithms and control systems that allocate and manage virtual logistics lanes based on real-time traffic data.
Description
The Project in detail
The Challenge
Freight transport is approaching capacity limits on existing road infrastructure, especially in dense urban and industrial regions. Traditional solutions such as dedicating physical lanes for specific vehicle groups are often impractical due to cost, space constraints, and regulatory hurdles. ViDeLL addresses this by creating virtual logistics lanes that can be flexibly activated on existing road space for automated vehicles, significantly reducing infrastructure investment needs while improving traffic efficiency and utilization.
PEM Motion’s Approach
PEM Motion contributes to ViDeLL by integrating its industry expertise in intelligent transport systems and automation. Specifically, the company:
Supports the design and development of virtual logistics concepts that work with real-world automated vehicle technologies.
Contributes insights on sensor integration and real-time traffic control systems needed to dynamically allocate virtual lanes.
Helps develop safety concepts and regulatory recommendations necessary for real-world deployment of virtual logistics lanes within existing urban traffic environments.
