Dubai South announced the successful completion of the first stage of the UAE’s autonomous vehicle trials in partnership with Evocargo. The trials were carried out on a set route in a closed area of the Dubai South Logistics District. During the trials, Evocargo validated the hardware, software, and reliability of its unmanned electric truck, the Evocargo N1, for future service in the logistics district. The tests measured the success of the Evocargo N1 in object detection, accident prevention, collision avoidance with moving obstacles and emergency stops. The truck’s autopilot system was tested in a full range of manoeuvres (parking, reverse parking, turning, and reverse turning). The control centre’s functionality (route management, remote monitoring, and control) was also tested. No failures or potentially hazardous incidents were reported by any parties during the series of tests.
