EVA-Shuttle
Electric. Connected. Automated.
Start: 10/2018
End: 06/2021
In the “EVA Shuttle” project, connected and autonomously driving mini-shuttles are being developed for the last mile from the bus stop to the front door. Called by app, autonomous shuttles will in future pick up passengers on the principle of carpooling and take them to their destinations.
The project consortium tested a new public transport service that will offer users more options and convenience in the future. The aim of the research project is to develop a public transport mobility concept that will be evaluated using an overall system-oriented fleet test under real conditions at the Test Area Autonomous Driving Baden-Württemberg (TAF BW).
The German Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport is funding the project as part of the Automated and Connected Driving research program with 2.52 million euros over a period of 33 months.

Research focus
Intelligent Transportation Systems and Logistics
Smart solutions for the transportation of people and goods are a focus of FZI research to shape mobility in the future. To this end, the FZI develops integrated mobility systems – from vehicle automation and the application of AI in traffic systems to urban mobility and logistics.
Applied Artificial Intelligence
In this research focus, the FZI concentrates on practical research into the key technology of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Innovative AI solutions are developed and transferred to application areas such as mobility, robotics, healthcare technology, logistics, production, and supply and disposal on behalf of our partners and customers.
Funding notice:
The EVA Shuttle project was funded by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport (BMDV).
Project partners:
NEO2018: Innovation Award of the TechnologieRegion Karlsruhe
The NEO2018 Innovation Award honors the most innovative ideas for future neighborhoods that have been tested in reality. The jury agreed that the exemplary integration of mobility, energy and digitalization of the EVA shuttles shows what sustainable neighborhood development and thus livable urban development can look like.
