Meet the EZ10, the driverless shuttle

As its name indicates, the vocation of EasyMile, "Easy" and "Mile" is to facilitate and provide transport over short distances commonly called "of the last mile", both for the transport of persons and for logistics and the transport of goods.

EZ10 : A new way to move

Electric vehicle that can carry up to 10 people (6 seating positions and 4 standing positions or wheelchair), the EZ-10 moves autonomously (without driver) thanks to a GPS tracking system, a visual guidance, a collision detection system and the SLAM* technology.

During the initial identification of the route that the EZ-10 will automatically take, the two on-board cameras and the LIDAR* register a mapping of references. The on-board computer analyses and then marks all the significant points and environment statistics (control point*) and in 3D vision.

Throughout the commissioning, the automatic recognition of the recorded route allows the EZ-10 to precisely locate and move, without driver, along its pre-recorded trajectory.

Shared driverless transportation for the last mile

Just like a "horizontal lift", it is designed to cover short and predefined routes, and the potential applications are numerous: pedestrian city centers, gentle mobility areas, pedestrian tunnels and shared with cycling lane, intermodal area for linking between self-service bike rental and car-sharing stations, airports, amusement parks, parking spaces, health centers, ports, or even industrial sites.

Its entry into service requires a very light infrastructure (call points) allowing an easy modification of the vehicle route, while considerably limiting the initial investment. 

With a maximum and redundant security both for pedestrians and its passengers, EZ-10 adapts its behavior and determines its speed, or even its total stop, depending on its surrounding environment, thanks to its embedded technologies.

Solution feature: 3 modes of operation

• The "metro" mode, stop at each station: EZ-10 operates just like a metro line. It then covers systematically each predefined station on a transport line, with no specific request from passengers and with regularity and predefined commuting times. 

• The "bus" mode, stop on request: EZ-10 operates like a public transport bus which covers a predefined route, by stopping at known stations with, however, the possibility for users to request for a stop. In this mode, EZ-10 moves according to a predefined traffic frequency.

• The "on request" mode, maximum flexibility:  The users ask for the arrival of a vehicle from a parking terminal or on a smartphone application, The supervision system then calculates the best and shortest route to send a EZ-10 The route can be modified before the arrival of the EZ-10 to destination, if a user makes the request. However, the regularity of the service is guaranteed by the supervision agent. 

Commercialized with computing supervision systems in the form of software and application (under IOS and Android to manage a fleet of several vehicles), the EZ-10 meet the needs of companies, administrations and communities who wish to offer an adequate maintenance of the mobility of the last mile, on site or in intermodality, if necessary 24 hours a day.
