Auve Tech collaborated with the City of Tartu, Yazaki, and Avanti R&D to bring autonomous public transportation solutions to the European Capital of Culture. This case study delves into the real-traffic testing of the MiCa and Iseauto autonomous shuttles, exploring the project’s objectives, operational challenges, and impactful results over 92 days of deployment.
Tartu, the European Capital of Culture 2024, served as an ideal testing ground for innovative transport solutions. The project connected two major cultural landmarks, the Estonian National Museum (ERM) and Tartu City Museum, through a 4.92 km route.
The shuttles operated in open, mixed traffic, navigating urban roads under the following conditions:
Bus Stops: Integrated into the route for accessibility – 2 stops
Tartu faced typical urban mobility challenges:
