One year ago, ARTOUR began its journey through the streets of Arbon, Switzerland. Today, it’s part of everyday mobility. 🇨🇭🚌 From daily commutes to shopping trips and journeys through the city's historic streets, ARTOUR has spent the past year demonstrating what SAE Level-4 automated public transport looks like in real life. Throughout its first year, ARTOUR has navigated real-world urban environments using ADASTEC’s flowride.ai automated driving software platform, reaching significant milestones along the way: 🚌 15,000+ passengers transported 🛣️ 10,000+ km travelled on public roads 📍 4,000+ service trips completed More than operational achievements, these milestones demonstrate how automated driving technology can move beyond demonstrations and become part of everyday public transport. Led by Technische Gesellschaft Arbon (TGA), in collaboration with the City of Arbon, Eurobus Ostschweiz AG, and Karsan Automotive, ARTOUR reflects what strong partnerships and proven technology can achieve together. One year of real-world experience. And the journey is just getting started. We're proud to contribute to ARTOUR's journey and the continued advancement of automated public transport. #ARTOUR #ADASTEC #flowrideai #AutomatedPublicTransport #SAELevel4 #SmartMobility

How does a 12-meter automated city bus perceive its surroundings? The MAN Lion’s City 12 E, tested as part of the #MINGA research project and automated by ADASTEC’s SAE Level-4 automated driving software platform, uses a combination of LiDARs, radars and cameras positioned around the vehicle to continuously perceive its surroundings. Working together across different ranges and fields of view, these sensors create a comprehensive view of the environment, enabling the automated driving system to detect, and track objects, understand road users and infrastructure, and support safe driving decisions in complex urban traffic. A closer look at the sensor coverage behind automated public transport. #flowrideai #AutomatedDriving #AutomatedPublicTransport #AutomatedBus #LiDAR #Radar

Munich is now on the road with automated public transport. The MAN Lion’s City 12 E, automated by ADASTEC’s automated driving software platform, has entered public road testing on Munich’s Route 178 as part of the MINGA project. Following extensive testing and the required regulatory procedures, including technical inspections by TÜV and the operating permit granted by the federal authority for road traffic, Kraftfahrt-Bundesamt (KBA), under the AFGBV framework, the project is now moving from controlled validation into real urban traffic. Together with MAN Truck & Bus and MVG, we are taking another important step toward everyday automated public transport by bringing together vehicle integration, automated driving technology, operational expertise and regulatory readiness. The next phase, planned for November, will bring selected test users on board as operations continue under real world public transport conditions. From engineering and validation to public road operation, this is how automated public transport moves forward.
