Technological building blocks for driverless transportation

February 18, 2025 | GAIA-X 4 ROMS project presents vehicle-based mobility concepts for people and goods

In order to provide services on the required scale, new vehicle concepts in passenger and freight transport will mostly have electric drive systems and a high degree of automation. The research project GAIA-X 4 ROMS (Support and Remote Operation of Automated and Connected Mobility Services) has laid the necessary foundations for the integration of innovative vehicles into the overall system. Over a period of three years, the project partners jointly developed concrete technology building blocks for vehicle-based transportation concepts such as “autonomous parcel stations”, “first and last mile delivery” or “demand-responsive transport” and made them visible to the community.

At the final meeting, the participating companies and research partners came together at the Fraunhofer IVI in Dresden to present the results and discuss the possibilities of further cooperation.

GAIA-X 4 ROMS is part of the family "GAIA-X 4 Future Mobility" family. In five research projects, 80 partners from industry and science are currently developing the foundations for an intelligent transport infrastructure, vehicle technology concepts and industrial applications. Together with the Fraunhofer institutes IPK, FIT and ISST, Fraunhofer IVI is actively shaping the future GAIA-X data ecosystem within the framework of the project family, using various use cases for automated and connected mobility services. The institute is contributing its expertise and technologies from the Mobility Data Space and connected automated mobility.
