A few days after winning the Public Prize at the Swisscom Startup Challenge Bestmile announces that the company and a Laboratory of EPFL have been awarded a grant from the Swiss Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI).
BestMile and the Laboratory of urban transport systems (LUTS) of EPFL just won a project sponsored by the Commission for Technology and Innovation (CTI). Its purpose is to develop fleet management algorithms for autonomous vehicles to be integrated in an existing transport systems. The algorithms should be efficient enough to be applicable in real time operations, and be effective enough to achieve nearly cost minimal and risk minimal solutions for system management, and cooperate with the existing public transport system of cities. The research project will last two years.
BestMile is evolving very fast and achieved several milestones in the last months. In July the company announced the launch of its app for the driverless on-demand solution. Last week the start-up from Lausanne won the Public Prize at the Swisscom Startup Challenge.
Bestmile is a start-up active in developing solutions and services for urban mobility. These offers are designed to manage any vehicle fleet which brings a solution to the last mile problem. At the moment the system is tested with a public transport system composed of autonomous vehicles on the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology’s campus in Lausanne.
