ABD Solutions - Unmanned Mining Truck Solution
Overview of ABD Solutions
ABD Solutions is a subsidiary of the AB Dynamics Group (AB Dynamics plc), a corporate group focused on automotive technology. For over 40 years, AB Dynamics has been a leading global provider of testing and development solutions for the automotive industry. Its business covers closed-site testing solutions, laboratory testing solutions, driving simulator solutions, autonomous driving and perception solutions, public road testing solutions, and simulation environment solutions, among others.
In 1997, AB Dynamics pioneered the development of retrofittable robotic control solutions designed to achieve high-precision, high-accuracy, and highly repeatable vehicle driving to meet efficient testing demands. In 2007, AB Dynamics launched its first fully autonomous driving solution. Since then, the company has introduced dozens of autonomous driving solutions worldwide.
To extend its world-leading autonomous driving technology beyond automotive testing and development, AB Dynamics established ABD Solutions.
Autonomous Mining Truck Solution
We are committed to creating safer and more efficient working environments, addressing driver shortages, and supporting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals. To this end, we introduce Indigo Drive — a full-stack autonomous driving system that enables faster and more cost-effective automation using your existing vehicles.
Indigo Drive is a flexible autonomous driving ecosystem designed to adapt to your operations, rather than forcing your operations to adapt to it. With our vehicle-agnostic and retrofittable technology, you can easily manage mixed fleets through a simple and intuitive command center interface.
Indigo Drive is scalable, allowing flexible adoption of different levels of automation across various business scenarios. You can begin your automation journey with remote-operated driving and gradually advance to higher levels of autonomy over time.
At the core of each system is Indigo Drive’s proven onboard technology and robust operating system, both designed from the ground up with functional safety in mind.
The autonomous vehicle architecture of Indigo Drive consists of four main components: a sensor system, vehicle control system, positioning system, and communication system. The vehicle control system outputs control signals — such as steering, gear shifting, and braking — to execute autonomous operations.
Our advantages include:
Increased productivity
Simplified operations
Enhanced safety
Improved utilization
Cost reduction
Rapid and retrofittable installation
We can also tailor testing solutions specifically to your site environment, personnel conditions, and workflow to enhance efficiency and exceed expected targets. Our solutions have already been implemented in applications such as Japan Steel and Liebherr.
