Honda Puts AVs
to Work
by Bill Visnic
With the second generation of its Autonomous Work Vehicle, Honda
advances the concept of automated vehicles as jobsite helpers.
Honda and Black & Veatch, a global engineering
and construction firm, recently conducted a monthlong
field test of a prototype Honda Autonomous
Work Vehicle (AWV) at a Black and Veatch solar-energy
construction site in New Mexico. The AWV
prototype, based on a concept first revealed at the
CES2018 conference, " performed a range of functions, "
Honda said, " including towing activities and
transporting construction materials, water and other
supplies to pre-set destinations within the work site. "
Although the automaker had previously
field-tested the AWV, the New Mexico test of the
second-generation prototype was the first time
multiple AWVs were deployed to work collaboratively
to support construction use cases, according to Honda.
The solar-energy construction project, with solar-panel
support structures arranged in precise patterns was
selected as an ideal operational design domain (ODD)
to test the AWVs' ability to navigate a pre-set route.
Honda said it generated " a high-definition map of
the 1,000-acre site that allowed Black & Veatch operators
to precisely set start and stop points for multiple
Honda AWVs using a cloud-based app interface that
runs on tablets and PCs. The vehicles successfully
delivered materials and supplies along a calculated
route and proved capable of stopping within centimeters
of the pre-set points. "
" With our test partner Black & Veatch, Honda was
able to demonstrate the performance of our rugged
all-electric Autonomous Work Vehicle prototype in
Honda's second-generation AWV shown
in its first collaborative operation.
