Unlocking large-scale
and passenger-centric automated mobility
The ULTIMO project wants to set the foundations and deploy the very first economically viable large-scale, on-demand, and passenger-oriented Automated Vehicle (AV) public transportation services. By adopting a holistic approach to AV deployment that considers all elements in a cross-sector business environment, ULTIMO wants to truly unlock the integration of AVs into cities with on-demand and door-to-door services, allowing for more sustainable, accessible, and inclusive mobility.

Objectives
Validate integrated shared CCAM systems and services for people and goods across Europe
Develop open-source application programming interfaces (APIs) for seamless integration of vehicles and fleet management into MaaS and Laas systems
ULTIMO will deploy fleets of automated vehicles in three sites across Europe
Herford, North Rhine-Westphalia
Improve urban-rural mobility by building a fleet of autonomous minibuses that will be integrated into the existing public transport system as a complement.
Groruddalen Valley, Oslo
Initially operated as metro feeder service, this site will deploy automated shuttles as competitive service fully integrated with other traffic, serving passengers in the area in their everyday mobility needs.
Countryside and suburbs, Geneva
In Geneva, fifteen automated vehicles capable of self-driving on 99% of all routes, will connect citizens living in the countryside or suburbs to the main train stations, bus and tram lines.
