Qatar Aviation Services (QAS), in collaboration with MATAR, and Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) – member of Qatar Foundation, has launched an initiative to trial the latest autonomous transportation solutions at Hamad International Airport (DOH) within its airside operations, marking a first for the region.
The proof-of-concept trials, which started its initial autonomous staff bus trials testing from February 16, will integrate cutting-edge autonomous vehicles, including an autonomous bus and an autonomous baggage tractor. Equipped with advanced technologies such as GPS, AI-driven systems, and various intelligent sensors and lidars, these vehicles are designed to enhance operational safety and efficiency. Their capabilities include 24/7 operations under diverse weather conditions, real-time monitoring, and automated charging systems.
