Applied Autonomy
Bringing Autonomous Processes to Life
Applied Autonomy's platform, xFlow®, has
an unique value proposition that enables
operations of autonomous vehicles and
vessels under all weather conditions made
scalable and at a low cost.
Applied Autonomy’s solutions reduce costs
of operating automated transportation by
50%-70%
Purpose to bring autonomous mobility and
logistics to life realizing cost, environment,
labour and safety benefits for the society
xFlow® platform – replacing fleets of drivers with autonomous system
Starting with passenger transport 🡪 potential to move to new verticals

applications
Dispatches autonomous vehicles according to time
schedule utilising knowledge of the road condition to
provide safe and efficient operation
Remote inspection and control of vehicles (control of
vehicle behavior, platooning and remote driving)
Secure that entire fleet operations is compliant to
regulations, permission and service requirements
Real-time monitoring of vehicle fleet statuses and
alerts, vehicle missions, planned routes and stations
Documentation to authorities, customers and
operation improvements is available efficiently

Problem - Operation centers today do not have the
necessary solutions to operate autonomous processes
Large transformation for the operations center: Operations centers will experience a large
transformation going from staffing and supporting drivers to operating, monitoring and
supporting autonomous vehicles.
Need new software for the transition: Autonomous vehicles need a central coordination hub
where a human operator can support autonomous vehicles as well as their passengers when
needed.
Process integration: This hub requires several integrations connecting autonomous vehicles
to public transportation, logistics operations, operators demands and integration needed to
infrastructure for safety and efficiency.
No systems today: OEMs and AD providers focusing on making the autonomous bus, but few
are focusing on the operation center system that will make it work at scale.

Why now?
Why Now
Enablers:
● EU has implemented a legal
framework and type approval for
autonomous vehicles
● Increased trust and market
acceptance for automated driving
● Cost reductions of sensors due to
larger market
● Depreciation period of AV is
extended from 3 to 8 years
● Remote control and remote
driving of AV are legal and
accepted
