The autonomous buses will be used at the airside so airside workers do not have to perform routine driving tasks and can focus on more complex activities.A self-driving bus to transport workers around Changi Airport’s restricted area will go on trial from the third quarter of 2024, as part of efforts to improve manpower productivity at the airport through automation.
The idea is to use autonomous buses at the airside, which is the part of the airport where the loading and unloading of aircraft, as well as take-offs and landings, take place. This is so airside workers do not have to perform routine driving tasks and can focus on more complex activities. The first phase is expected to last about nine months, and it will be conducted in a controlled environment at the airport without any passengers on board.
The parties did not disclose the expected cost of the two-year collaboration. In a statement, they said only that the initiative will be co-funded by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore through its $280 million Aviation Development Fund.
