Location: Innovasjonsparken, Stavanger, Norway,
Setup: Two days combined workshop and presentations
Organizer: Applied Autonomy AS
Registration: Registration has to be at least 15 days before the event. We cannot guarantee your participation due to limitation on maximum participants (12 in total)
BACKGROUND
Designed for airports, municipal leaders, and transit operators, this combined workshop and presentations targets organisations seeking to leverage autonomous transport to address rising costs, driver shortages, and the challenge of private car dependency.
While early European pilots with first-generation 'slow-moving' shuttles provided valuable insights into legislation and system logic, they often fell short of operational requirements. This combined workshop and presentations are designed to move beyond those initial inspirations, providing the concrete steps necessary to deploy scalable, high-performance autonomous solutions.
By participating in this combined workshop and seminar, you will gain practical tools and frameworks to implement directly within your own organisation:
A Step-by-Step Methodology: A structured approach featuring comprehensive checklists for every phase, from initial concept to full-scale operations.
Defining the Operational Design Domain (ODD): Master the technical requirements and environmental constraints necessary to turn your vision into a functional reality.
Risk Assessment & Mitigation: A framework for identifying operational risks and implementing robust safety mitigations.
The Autonomous Value Chain: From the base vehicle to seamless transit integration. Learn to evaluate if your value chain can support diverse vehicle types and Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS), with a focus on the requirements for Type Approval.
Live Operational Experience: Experience the Karsan e-ATAK in action on a live route—preparing for the transition where the safety driver is removed from the wheel.
PARTICIPANT LIMIT To ensure a high-quality, interactive experience, this course is strictly limited to 12 participants.
COURSE FEES The fee for this two-day workshop is €1,950 (excluding VAT) for each participant. This includes all course materials, lunches, and a networking dinner.
ACCOMMODATION Accommodation is not included in the course fee. We recommend booking at the Yaladir Hotel or other hotels in Stavanger, Sola, or Sandnes.
