Purpose and goal

Expected effects and result
Expected results is a demonstration that describes how automated and site-specific winter operations can be initiated and carried out, taking into account technology, logistics, safety, work environment and accessibility.
Planned approach and implementation
The project consists of four Work Packages (WPs): WP1: Technology, where we review the technical requirements. WP2: Review and selection of location, where we base our work on accident risk, charging and inspection possibilities WP3: Pilot, where we test drive the robot at the selected location WP4: Project management
