- Description
- The proposal for the implementation of the Unmanned Autonomous Vehicle circuit was developed for two alternative locations in Doha city, associated with new urban developments: Katara Cultural Village and Aspire Zone. Considering the size and essentially pedestrian nature of these areas, it was decided
- to implement a low impact transport system using an Autonomous Electric Vehicle (computer controlled and without driver), powered by electromagnetic induction guaranteed by an underground guide and suitable for small low speed trips. Due to its characteristics and operation, the system can be described
- as a "horizontal elevator". In order to highlight the vehicle's circuit in public spaces, a special, discrete curb with an organic design and curvilinear profile has been developed, which sometimes rises, marking and delimiting the vehicle's path, sometimes collapsing, allowing a level crossing and unobstructed to passersby.
