MAN Truck & Bus, Deutsche Bahn, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, and Götting KG draw a positive mid-term balance in the joint automation project ANITA, Autonomous Innovation in Terminal Operations. With the first public drive of the autonomous truck driving system on the MAN test track in Munich, the partners presented what has been achieved so far and announced intensive practical and development drives at the container depot of DB Intermodal Services and the DUSS terminal of Deutsche Umschlaggesellschaft Schiene-Straße mbH in Ulm Dornstadt as the next step. The aim of ANITA is to use autonomous trucks to stabilize the processes involved in transferring containers from road to rail, making them more efficient, easier to plan and at the same time more flexible. This will enable more goods to be transported in environmentally friendly combined transport in the future. To this end, MAN will be sharpening the electronic senses of the autonomous truck in the real operating environment over the coming months so that it can perceive the surroundings, react, and plan like a real driver.ANITA automation project by MAN Truck & Bus, Deutsche Bahn, Hochschule Fresenius University of Applied Sciences and Götting KG: Intensive practical and development runs at the DB Intermodal Services container depot and the DUSS terminal in Ulm Dornstadt are the next step.The partners plan a full year of test drives to confront the autonomous prototype with reality as often as possible during the step-by-step development and optimization process. A safety driver is always on board to intervene if necessary. The intensive test drives benefit not only the further development of the autonomous truck but also the preparation of the terminals for the integration of the new technology
