Fully automated on-demand, door-to-door public transport is a reality TODAY! The TPG are deploying at the Belle-Idee site of Hospital of Geneva the first ever service.
At the end of last year AVENUE recruited ioki to join the project and be the provider of the On Demand Mobility Platform.
The new system had the following goals:
Today the hard work payed of! TPG, Navya and ioki had a joint GoLive in Geneva and it worked! They did a booking, the vehicle picked them up on time, they drove fully autonomous and were dropped of at the desired destination
For ioki – a DB company it is huge milestone, since they now have multiple Self Driving Software Providers (beside Navya also EasyMile) integrated into our platform to serve the different mobility needs. Who wants to be the next?
The AVENUE project intermediate report of Belle-idee is now available on Swiss Federal Roads Office FEDRO website!

A fully operational public transportation service, 100% automated, with no human intervention, is now running at the Belle-Idee site in Geneva operated by TPG
On the 19th and the 26th of May 2021, the AVENUE consortium held the 7th General Meeting of the project on the Zoom video conferencing platform. This meeting was attended by all AVENUE consortium partners and includes the new partners representing the 2 new replicator sites “Sion” and “Esch-sur-Alesch” as well as the AVENUE advisory board.
The meeting covered the following topics:
In the framework of H2020 AVENUE and other mobility projects in Lyon, a permanent installation of V2I communication was conducted by FERACO and was fully integrated into the urban transport network of Greater Lyon. This installation will be managed by the operator Kéolis, partner in this installation, and is the first of its kind in France.
A subsidiary of the FAYAT group, the leading independent French construction group, FARECO is one of the key players in new mobility with products at the cutting edge of innovation.
In this video, including more than half of the shots made with a drone and largely enriched with motion design, FARECO presents the NEXO Roadside Unit, which provides V2I communication to enhance the last-mile service on the Lyon Décines site.
NEXO presides over the movements of an autonomous shuttle, on open lanes where several thousand vehicles circulate daily.
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement no 769033.
