SATS and SIAEC begin autonomous bus trials at Changi Airport in Q3

The initiative aims to boost airside productivity by automating driving tasks.

SATS unit, SATS Airport Services, and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to start a proof of concept (POC) on using autonomous buses to transport airport staff around Changi Airport’s airside.

The POC, commencing in Q3, will validate the self-driving capabilities of the autonomous bus to gain confidence in its operational and safety performance.

The parties will conduct the POC in two phases: the first in a sterile environment and the second in a live operational environment.

The two-year collaboration was co-funded under the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS)’s Aviation Development Fund (ADF).

The collaboration is part of Changi Airport’s effort to automate routine driving tasks to improve airside manpower productivity and present opportunities for job redesign and upskilling.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
