Movus

Autonomous Airport Vehicle for Cura Design Limited

Movus is an electrical autonomous airport vehicle working inside the airport apron area and carrying any cargo and luggages between the baggage handling system of the airport and the airplane with enhanced safety, hygiene and luggage protection measures which may be encountered after handling to the airport facilities. The interior design of the vehicle aims maximizing the efficiency by the 3-level conveyor system. The exterior design visually divides the vehicle in to two halves following the functions and is supported by sensor systems at the front and back to enhance the autonomous driving.

Production Technology

Movus is an autonomous electric vehicle so the manufacturing is based on a metal chassis and thermoformed plastic parts to cover inside trims and vehicle body. The conveyors inside the vehicle are made of stainless steel and have modular units to provide any kind of customised layout.

Design Challenge

The biggest research challenge is the technological knowledge required for such a comprehensive project. Deciding on radar and camera positions, electric motors, batteries, loading/unloading structure, conveyor system... etc were all deciding factors and greatly affected the overall design form of the vehicle. It was an important part of the project to include all and look stylish and futuristic meanwhile. Another research area was the current procedure and applications in airport apron area. Airport aprons are extremely strict and designated area and conformity to these standards was another challenge while developing the product.

Project Duration

The project started in August 2021 and finished in February 2022 in Turkey

Operation Flow

Smart Routing System includes two Lidar Sensors on the top to sense depth and distance. Two Stereo Cameras positioned on front faces improve the short-distance image processing to avoid obstacles. If any additional capacity is needed, a new Movus joins to the operation by V2V protocol immediately. Movus has 3-level compartment with adjustable door structure on both sides. Door is operated by linear actuators and positioned to each level to transfer the luggages. Modular conveyor system inside is composed of triangular modules with 3 omni-wheels positioned 120 degree from each other.

Research

The research was mostly conducted with interviews and feedbacks on the experts on the areas of electric vehicles and autonomous vehicles as well as those responsible for airport cargo areas.

Inspiration

Movus is inspired from a major problem and mess occurring in the luggage and cargo transportation system in the current airports. In the current situation, carrying of the luggages from Baggage Handling Area to the airplanes is handled by the workers and in many cases the luggages are damaged or lost due to human factors or lack of follow-up systems. While every other procedure inside the airport and apron area is well-organised and carefully planned, the transportation of cargo and luggages seems to be highly complex and vulnerable to errors and mistakes.
