Ivy Campus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The efeuCampus (eco-friendly experimental urban logistics campus) based in Bruchsal is Germany's first innovation center for autonomous urban goods logistics. On the research area of ​​the former dragoon barracks, which is operated by efeuCampus Bruchsal GmbH, the development of intelligent goods logistics on the last mile and autonomous vehicles are being promoted. In addition, the company develops solutions for smart mobility in urban areas across Europe.

history

The beginnings of the research project go back to 2014: At that time, the Regional Economic Development Corporation Bruchsal GmbH and the Technologieregion Karlsruhe GbR applied for funding from the state of Baden-Württemberg as part of the competition for sustainable regional development ("RegioWIN") and presented the concept idea of the test area. On January 23, 2015, the state of Baden-Württemberg awarded the efeuCampus concept as a European lighthouse project in the field of innovation centers. The competition is endowed with a total of 10 million euros in the 2014–2020 funding period , which comes from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), state funds and, in part, from the project partners. In 2016 efeuCampus Bruchsal GmbH was founded by the city of Bruchsal as a 100% subsidiary.

concept

A central distribution point will be set up at the entrance to the 60,000 m² campus area, from which goods to be transported will be distributed and consolidated. As part of the project, packages and parcels will be transported to an innovative transport system to be developed. Autonomous vehicles are to deliver the goods from the district depot directly to the recipients who live on the premises. The 240 residents of the campus area have access to the current status of the supply chain using an app. The delivery can take place in two variants: The synchronous delivery takes place in that local residents personally accept the delivery from the autonomous vehicle. Alternatively, users can also set a time by when the "autonomous" delivery to an electronic mailbox should take place. The recipients can pick up their shipment themselves as they wish. This type of delivery is a so-called asynchronous delivery.

Research goals

The aim of the lighthouse project efeuCampus is to move goods of various types with new types of vehicles without emissions and without a driver. In addition, a residential quarter of the future is to be created as a “habitable laboratory ” in the medium term , in which technologies for energy-efficient construction and living in the context of the energy transition can be tested and presented. As a European reference quarter for new and smart mobility in urban areas, efeuCampus is intended to contribute to CO2 awareness and help to implement innovative mobility concepts in the sense of Smart City projects across the board.

Components

Ivy Quarter

The efeuQuartier acts as an innovation center with the efeuLog delivery system. The structure and operation of the automatic delivery and removal of parcels are planned. A district depot is to serve as an interim storage facility for incoming and outgoing goods. Transport robots are supposed to deliver and collect goods in front of the houses. Pick-up points are planned to ensure that these processes run smoothly.

Ivy Academy

The efeuAkademie is responsible for knowledge communication. It serves as a communicative interface between the project partners and the general public and is supervised by the Institute for Energy Efficient Mobility (IEEM) at Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences .
