Situational Awareness

This Work Package focuses on developing visual 3D situational awareness for mixed fleets comprising autonomous and manually controlled mobile machines, including AGVs, AMRs, forklift trucks, and overhead cranes. These machines operate within factories and warehouses alongside human workers. The technical mixed fleet concept aims to optimize traffic management in mixed fleets, streamline material flow, and enhance safety. The work will involve testing and demonstrating cutting-edge technological solutions, such as advanced laser scanners, positioning systems, and point cloud-based XR visualization tools, with applications in environments like Konecranes' test hall.

​

Research questions:

• How can situational awareness improve the efficiency, safety, and overall operations of mixed fleet systems?

• How do modern digital technologies facilitate the development of situational awareness for mixed fleets in factories and warehouses?

• How can data and situational awareness be effectively shared and transferred across various stakeholders?
