autonomous driving EV bus

We offer two types of autonomous driving EV buses, EVO and ARMA. These vehicles contribute to solving social issues such as supporting people with mobility challenges and easing traffic congestion. In areas such as tourist spots, parks, theme parks, and factories, they improve mobility and profitability, and also contribute to improving user loyalty and cost reduction. In addition, by connecting to public transportation networks, they create new value in transportation. They are used for demonstration experiments and regular operations in various regions of the country, and realize transportation that combines safety, reliability, and comfort.

EVO

The EVO is equipped with Level 4* autonomous driving technology that does not require a driver. It is a new type of autonomous driving EV bus that combines the latest intelligent technology and high performance. This vehicle, without a steering wheel or pedals, provides a mobility experience as a new era of mobility solution.

System configuration

A

GNSS

Through communication between the GPS sensor and beacons, the exact location of the vehicle is always identified, with an accuracy of just a few centimeters.

B

camera

One is installed at the front and one at the back to check the safety of the surroundings of the vehicle. The continuously recorded data is also used for analysis and remote monitoring.

C

LiDAR

2D and 3D perception technology maps the environment for precise localization and obstacle detection.

D

Odometry

By measuring the rotational speed of the tires, the vehicle's speed can be accurately estimated and its position confirmed.

E

IMUs

It senses the behavior of the vehicle by combining an acceleration sensor and an angular velocity (gyro) sensor.

●

SLAM

Map information created by LiDAR is matched with current LiDAR information to determine the vehicle's position.

●

V2X

It receives data from various infrastructures installed on roads such as traffic lights and complies with traffic rules.

●

Remote monitoring and control

In the unlikely event of an emergency, monitoring will be provided from a centralized control center, and remote control will be implemented if intervention is required.

Case study

Navya Mobility's autonomous driving solutions have been deployed in 220 vehicles in 32 countries to date.*1
EVO/ARMA has a track record of six regular operations and 50 demonstration test operations in Japan.*2

Hitachiota City, Ibaraki Prefecture (Regular operation/EVO)
The bus operates regularly in urban areas, supporting the mobility of local residents and contributing to improving the convenience of the town. It also links with digital maps and local government apps to provide information on the bus's current location and the surrounding area along its route. Furthermore, the route will be expanded in February 2025, and it is expected to spread throughout the town.

Yokkaichi City, Mie Prefecture
With the aim of improving mobility in the city center, a demonstration experiment is held every year to implement regular operation. This year, the fifth one, was held on a grand scale in conjunction with a town event, and it was confirmed that awareness of autonomous driving bus has increased. Efforts are underway to obtain useful data for implementation, such as verifying the communication status of remote monitoring and driving routes.

Sakaimachi, Ibaraki Prefecture (Regular operation/ARMA)
ARMA has been adopted for the first regular operation of a autonomous driving bus led by a local government in Japan. Four years have passed since the bus began operation, and it has steadily established itself in the area. As a daily route connecting the town, it contributes to improving convenience for residents and promoting mobility. In addition, autonomous driving bus is monitored in real time from a remote monitoring center, supporting safe and smooth operation.

Haneda Innovation City, Tokyo (Regular operation/ARMA)
It operates regularly as a free shuttle bus within the shopping center. Starting in August 2024, it will be the first in Japan to operate a Level 4 (fully autonomous driving without a driver) bus on sunny days only. It provides facility visitors with the convenience of moving around the premises and an opportunity to experience autonomous driving technology.
