Industrial railways and small shunting yards rely on manually (remote-)controlled shunting locomotives or devices. The shunting process involves many idle times and manual work performed for the most part under dangerous conditions, thus making the shunting operation unattractive in view of increasing staff shortage and cost pressure. However, it also offers favorable boundary conditions for an automatization or even autonomization. This paper introduces an approach for automated shunting in order to overcome the drawbacks of conventional shunting operation and to improve its efficiency. A commercial shunting vehicle with automatic coupler was upgraded with sensors and further electronics to facilitate vehicle navigation and wireless communication. It receives shunting orders from a stationary control system and executes them automatically while monitoring the track. The feasibility of this approach was successfully demonstrated by field tests.
