Fully Autonomous truck Scania AXL could work in the mines

Their vision of the future the mining and construction industries Scania AB is presented in the form of innovative concept vehicles – and fully Autonomous mine haul truck Scania AXL, and, without a cabin.

The basis of this conception the already proven brand modular Scania. Conceptual unmanned dump truck Scania AXL is designed to operate on most optimal for the application of fully Autonomous transportation facilities, once closed mines and big construction sites.

The use of such a drone allows you to streamline the process of transport of goods, improves the Economics and reduces adverse impacts on the environment.

Characteristically, in the design of Scania AXL the traditional driver's cab replaced by a special intelligent front module.
The President and CEO Scania Henrik Henriksson, said: "From a conceptual Scania truck AXL we make a significant step forward in creating intelligent transportation systems of the future, where cars with Autonomous control will take a significant place".

In the development of unmanned vehicles the fundamental problem is the choice of software, so that ribosomal Scania AXL operates under the control of the intellectual environment that integrates the various control systems (cameras, radars, lidars and GPS receivers).

So, Autonomous operations in the mines truck performs with jobs from a digital logistics system. The internal combustion engine for Scania AXL works mainly on "plerodomiana" biofuels that minimize the negative impact on the environment. The technical characteristics and design features of ribosomal optimal for heavy duty in construction and mining industries.

Head of research and development of Scania Clays Erickson explained: "Customers are already using unmanned Scania trucks, however, still in the car was the place for the driver so that if necessary, he could intervene in the process. Scania AXL is a radically new solution, since the vehicle has no cabin. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the creation of unmanned vehicles, but the answers to many questions still to be found. With the help of conceptual vehicles such as Scania AXL, we are entering a new level".
