About GAUSSIN MACNICA MOBILITY
GAUSSIN MACNICA MOBILITY (formerly NAVYA, hereinafter Gama) is a leading company providing autonomous driving solutions.
With the mission of solving traffic problems through autonomous driving, we are working on easing traffic congestion and helping vulnerable road users based on the concept of "first and last mile." In May 2023, Macnica and France's GAUSSIN established a new company (GAUSSIN MACNICA MOBILITY) aimed at developing autonomous, zero-emission mobility for the transportation of people and goods, and acquired the assets of the former NAVYA. In addition to taking over the business, we will also provide solutions for large tractors and AGVs for private land use.

It operates regularly as a free circulation bus within the commercial facility. We provide facility visitors with convenient movement within the premises and an innovative experience.
Self autonomous driving towing tractor
France/Toulouse
A demonstration experiment is being conducted at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport. It automatically transports containers loaded with baggage on a route of about 1.5 km.
autonomous driving shuttle bus
Gama offers two types of autonomous driving EV buses: "EVO" that supports level 4 and "ARMA" that supports level 3. Since it can also be driven on public roads, by connecting to the public transportation network, it can be effective in solving social issues such as helping vulnerable road users and alleviating traffic congestion. In addition, in private areas such as parks, commercial facilities, and factories/plants, by increasing the ease of movement within the area and profitability, it contributes to attracting customers and improving costs. It has already been used in more than 23 countries and provides safe, reliable, and comfortable transportation.

A dashboard that displays operation information is installed in the vehicle interior, and information screens are installed in the front and rear of the vehicle as a means of communication with the surrounding environment, such as pedestrians. In addition, it is equipped with a non-step bus that eliminates steps at the entrance and an SOS system for emergencies.
System configuration
It is equipped with various sensors and technologies necessary for autonomous driving.
1
LiDAR
Detects obstacles by irradiating infrared rays and receiving infrared rays reflected by objects. The 3D type is used for the roof, and the 2D type is used for the bumper.
2
Odometry
The mileage is calculated based on the number of tire rotations.
3
GNSS
Used for locating vehicles. Real-time kinematics (RTK) techniques are used to share reference station information to achieve an error of a few centimeters.

camera
Installed one at the front and back to check the safety around the vehicle.
5
sensing sensor
It senses external light and raindrops and activates the auto lights and auto wipers.
●
SLAM
Map information created in advance using LiDAR information is matched with current LiDAR information to identify the position of the vehicle.
●
V2X
It receives data from various infrastructures installed on roads such as traffic lights and complies with traffic rules.
●
Remote monitoring and control
In case of emergency, monitoring at the central control center and remote control will be implemented if intervention is required.
ARMA
Overview
ARMA is a autonomous driving autonomous driving bus with a seating capacity of 15 people and a maximum speed of 25 km/h. It is an EV (electric vehicle) model and can run automatically for about 9 hours (100 km) on a single charge.
