INNOVATION PILOTS WITH STARTUPS
Lost property
For a company that transported 423 million people last year, efficient management of lost items is a constant challenge: we have launched an initiative that uses AI to revolutionize this process. In collaboration with the startup FoundSpot, the solution implemented not only facilitates the recovery of lost objects; but also provides customers with a better experience, reducing recovery time and operational costs.
OWN PROJECTS
UAM autonomous bus
H2 bus and hydrogen station
The Asturian Science, Business Competitiveness and Innovation Agency (Sekuens) selected, within its call for business R&D&I Centers, the three projects presented by Alsa that are currently in development:
P1. Definition of a new dynamic predictive model based on Artificial Intelligence for clean and zero-emission vehicles, with autonomous driving and charging networks.
P2. Research into new AI technologies to define on-demand mobility solutions.
P3. Research and application of new technologies related to customer experience and the creation of value for people to define new sustainable mobility products and services.
