Autonomous Driving Technologies for Logistics

Autonomous Driving System Level Definitions

To address social challenges in the logistics sector, we are developing technologies aimed at achieving Level 4 autonomous driving.

Technical Challenges of Autonomous Driving for Heavy Vehicles

Due to the unique characteristics of heavy vehicles, the technical challenges in implementing autonomous driving are significantly greater than those for standard passenger cars.

Wide Detection Range

Heavy vehicles require a broad detection range and diverse sensors. Additionally, the cargo bed can obstruct sensors, necessitating multiple communication methods and careful sensor placement.

Complex Vehicle Dynamics

Due to the difficulty of performing rapid acceleration, deceleration, or sharp steering, heavy vehicles require information from farther ahead to ensure safe operation.

Diverse Specifications

Heavy vehicles vary in axle number and arrangement, wheelbase length, body configuration, and cargo type, requiring control systems optimized for each specific specification.
