Bertrandt BumbleB: Autonomous shuttle for rural areas
With the autonomous shuttle BumbleB, the automotive supplier Bertrandt has a forward-looking mobility solution, especially for rural areas. The project is intended to set new benchmarks for accessible, sustainable and everyday-usable mobility and is aimed specifically at rural areas. These areas face major challenges: fewer and fewer bus drivers, inefficient large buses, particularly in rural areas or on the outskirts, and an aging population complicates daily mobility, the provider outlines the background of the project. At the same time, the need for accessible and flexible transport options is growing. Societal conditions demand new, intelligent mobility solutions.
Here, the supplier together with the Bern University of Applied Sciences is building on this: The autonomous shuttle BumbleB could, in principle, be deployed anywhere. The focus, however, lies on less-accessible regions where, for example, ride-sharing opportunities provided by city buses are offered less and less. The vehicle should be small, agile and fully suitable for everyday use, and it comes with up-to-date sensors, software and system intelligence.
Affordable independent mobility in rural areas
Vision is to provide mobility for all, regardless of age or physical condition, which is also affordable and safe to use. The model should also be more than a technical experiment. It originated from a research project that has now been revived and implemented with modern technology. They want to show that "Software-defined Mobility" is a reality and that autonomous vehicles can make a decisive contribution to a more environmentally friendly and inclusive society, according to the provider.
"For us, the currently challenging time is exactly the right moment to take this step and to show how passion and engineering craft give rise to a new form of mobility. The bumblebee that flies despite all doubts is our symbol," explains Alexander Merkel, head of the Electronics & Virtual Testing Solutions department at Bertrandt.
And what about the taxi?
Affordable mobility would be fairly easy to obtain without large investments. Taxi operators could secure mobility, but would need to be supported by the public sector. That would certainly be much faster and cheaper to achieve than the establishment of an autonomous shuttle system.
