Autonomous Transport

Autonomous Transport presents contributions from the inaugural Autonomous Transport Conference held in Gdynia, Poland, in 2024 under Gdynia Maritime University (GMU). This comprehensive volume captures cutting-edge research and innovative insights from the scientific community on autonomous transport technologies across applications. This book delivers state-of-the-art research on autonomous transport vehicle operations and new technology deployment. It addresses critical operational challenges, including the evolving requirements for maritime autonomous surface ships (MASS) navigation and necessary adjustments to established standards like the SOLAS convention and IMO instruments. Readers gain access to diverse perspectives on construction, operation, and the implementation of remote control and autonomous systems across multiple transport modes. This book serves researchers, engineers, and professionals working in autonomous transport development, maritime operations, aviation technology, and land-based autonomous systems. It is particularly valuable for academics studying transport automation, industry practitioners implementing autonomous technologies, regulatory specialists adapting safety standards, and policymakers shaping the future of autonomous transport across all sectors.
