Terberg ATT

The Drive by Wire (DBW) platform for the YT Series terminal tractors receives commands from the automation kit or tele-operation kit. These commands are converted into actions in the same way the driver would in a manually operated vehicle. Terberg collaborates with suppliers to integrate an autonomous system that allows AutoTUG to share lanes with conventional trucks. This includes cameras, radars, and laser-based sensors for navigation, collision avoidance, and pedestrian detection. A central computer on the vehicle processes all sensor information in real-time, makes decisions, and verifies the route. DRIVE BY WIRE ECOSYSTEM The Terberg “drive by wire” vehicle is controlled via a CAN bus interface used for further automation or development. An automation layer is integrated into the vehicle with relevant safety levels in accordance with ISO 13849-1/2. The “drive by wire” controls the vehicle’s operational systems, such as the powertrain, braking system, steering system, fifth wheel, lift table, and lighting. ELECTRONIC DRIVER The second layer is the "Electronic Driver," which uses the drive-by-wire layer and can "control" the vehicle, meaning the vehicle can maneuver in a controlled manner along a pre-programmed path. This functional layer, developed by partners, provides the flexibility to connect the vehicle to a client's automation program for controlling vehicles. TERMINAL OPERATING SYSTEM (TOS) The third layer is the system from which the AutoTUG™ receives its instructions, the central logistics system that manages the fleet of AutoTUGs, among other things.
