Research project IdenT

BPW not only contributes know-how to the project, but also a test vehicle. The test trailer is equipped with intelligent sensor technology: it records valuable data and determines driving dynamic conditions while driving on a computing unit in the trailer.

BPW leading government-funded research project on autonomous transport of the future

An autonomous trailer will be an integral part of the autonomous transport systems of the future – after all, this is where goods are actually transported. This is also why Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy is funding a three-year research project to investigate the conditions necessary for a trailer that can be used autonomously. BPW is leading the consortium.
