Description

Description (EN):

The logistics sector is constantly looking for innovations that can help improve the service level and profitability of the sector. These innovations have led to reduced fuel consumption and emissions in recent decades, among other things. Meanwhile, experiments are being carried out on a large scale with autonomous lorries. Many of these innovations have in common that additional technology in the vehicle takes over the role of the driver. The aforementioned pilots have something similar: the often expensive and complex technology can actually only be used in new vehicles. This project is looking for an intermediate form that brings advantages of automation into the existing fleet, without the technological costs being so high that automation never becomes profitable. With the use of VISTA technology, the technological changes to the truck are minimal and the driver continues to perform the actions himself. Parking ('docking') of trucks becomes easier and damage-free. The ultimate aim of the project is to use this technology to create a breakthrough in the logistics process on distribution sites and in ports; more efficient processes, relaxed task performance of drivers and less damage. A potential side-effect is that less experienced younger drivers can be used more easily, where there is now a large shortage of drivers with experience. The ultimate costs of large-scale introduction of VISTA in the existing fleet will be small, partly due to the very limited additional hardware costs. This means that the results can be used quickly. A scan of the business shows that similar products are not yet available on TRL> 7. An extensive business case analysis will show where the revenues will come down. Based on this, various PMC (Product Market Combinations) are drawn up.

Description (NL):

De logistieke sector is voortdurend op zoek naar innovaties die kunnen helpen bij het verbeteren van het serviceniveau en de winstgevendheid van de sector. Deze innovaties hebben de laatste decennia o.a. geleid tot een verminderd brandstofverbruik en emissies. Inmiddels wordt op grote schaal geëxperimenteerd met autonome vrachtauto’s. Veel van deze innovaties hebben met elkaar gemeen dat extra technologie in het voertuig de rol van de bestuurder overneemt. De genoemde pilots hebben nog iets overeenkomstig: de veelal dure en complexe technologie kan feitelijk alleen in nieuwe voertuigen toegepast worden. In dit project wordt gezocht naar een tussenvorm die voordelen van automatisering in de bestaande vloot brengt, zonder dat de technologische kosten zo hoog zijn dat de automatisering nooit rendabel wordt. Bij inzet van de VISTA-technologie zijn de technologische veranderingen aan de truck minimaal en blijft de chauffeur zelf de handelingen verrichten. Parkeren ('docken') van trucks wordt gemakkelijker en schadevrij. Het uiteindelijke doel van het project is om met deze technologie een doorbraak te creëren in het logistieke proces op distributieterreinen en in havens; efficiëntere processen, relaxte taakuitvoering van chauffeurs en minder schade. Een potentiële bijvangst is dat minder geschoolde jongere chauffeurs gemakkelijker kunnen worden ingezet, daar waar nu een groot tekort is aan chauffeurs met ervaring. De uiteindelijke kosten van grootschalige introductie van VISTA in de bestaande vloot zullen gering zijn, mede ingegeven door de zeer beperkt additionele hardware kosten. Dat maakt dat de resultaten snel benut kunnen worden. Een scan van de business laat zien dat soortgelijke producten nog niet beschikbaar zijn op TRL> 7. Een uitgebreide businesscase analyse zal laten zien waar de opbrengsten zullen neerdalen. Op basis hiervan worden verschillende PMC (Product Markt Combinaties) opgesteld.

Description (DE):

Der Logistiksektor ist stets auf der Suche nach Innovationen, die zur Verbesserung von Serviceniveau und Rentabilität der Branche beitragen. Im Laufe der Jahrzehnte haben Innovationen unter anderem zu einer Reduzierung von Kraftstoffverbrauch und Emissionen geführt. Inzwischen werden in großem Umfang Experimente mit autonomen LKW durchgeführt. Viele dieser Pilotprojekte haben gemein, dass zusätzliche Technik im Fahrzeug die Rolle des Fahrers übernimmt. Die Pilotprojekte haben noch eine weitere Gemeinsamkeit: Der umfangreiche Einsatz teurer und komplexer Technik, die letztlich nur in neuen Fahrzeuge eingesetzt werden kann. Mit diesem Projekt wird nach einer Zwischenform gesucht, mit der die Vorteile der Automatisierung im aktuellen Flottenbestand nutzbar gemacht werden sollen, ohne dass die Automatisierung durch die technischen Kosten unprofitabel wird. Bei Einsatz der VISTA-Technologie sind die technologischen Veränderungen am Lkw minimal, da der Fahrer alle Handlungen weiterhin eigenständig durchführt. Jedoch wird das Parken („Docken“) der Lkw vereinfacht. Das langfristige Ziel dieser technologischen Entwicklung ist die Etablierung in Logistikzentren und Häfen, die zu effizienteren Logistikprozessen, einfacherer Handhabung für Fahrer und weniger Schäden führt. Ein möglicher Nebeneffekt ist, dass angesichts des erheblichen Mangels an erfahrenen Fahrern weniger gut ausgebildete jüngere Fahrer schneller eingesetzt werden könnten. Die letztendlichen Kosten für die umfassende Einführung von VISTA in der bestehenden Flotte werden gering sein, was unter anderem an den sehr begrenzten zusätzlichen Hardwarekosten liegt. Das bedeutet, dass die Ergebnisse des Projekts schnell umgesetzt und genutzt werden können. Eine erste Marktüberprüfung hat ergeben, dass entsprechende Produkte auf TRL>7 derzeit noch nicht verfügbar sind. Eine umfassende Business-Case-Analyse wird zeigen, wo genau Gewinne erzielt werden können (PMC's).

Achievements (EN):

On the way to damage-free docking at reliable speed This was the reward for the VISTA (VIsion Supported Truck docking Assistant) project. The Reverse manoeuvring of a truck trailer is regularly a major challenge for drivers. This process, which has to be carried out frequently and daily at the distribution sites of logistics companies, can therefore cost a lot of time. Even when docking, there are always errors in which trucks, trailers, road objects as well as loading gates and platforms are damaged. Fortunately, the number of personal injuries is limited, but unfortunately, these too still occur. However, the damage is not the biggest gain of VISTA. That’s time! On the one hand, the driver saves time because the app directs him to the correct loading point; on the other hand, time is saved because the driver can place the truck in front of the loading point in front of the loading point, even if it consists of several parts. The VISTA app is versatile. In addition to distribution locations and premises of logistics service providers, the app can also save a lot of time, damage and hassle at inner-city delivery points. A delivery in a store where the truck is in the right place faster takes less time and therefore causes less discomfort, emissions and noise pollution. The VISTA app is based on an algorithm that analyses the situation based on the available camera images. The security cameras already available at most pick-up and delivery points can also be used for these camera images. The app gives the driver a clear overview – from above – of the situation around the truck, which represents a first profit. So the driver can see whether objects or persons in the Close to his vehicle. Based on the image and all objects (other trucks, masts, cars, etc.), the app calculates the ideal line for the truck to the delivery point/dock. With simple on-screen instructions, the driver sees how far he needs to turn his steering wheel left or right and how far the rear of the trailer is from the end point. The whole thing is a bit similar to the rear view camera of a car, but in addition to the picture also gives the right steering recommendations for fast and error-free docking, for trucks with trailers and over-long trucks with several buckling points.
