The driverless and electrically powered vehicle concept U-Shift enables a new type of flexibility and efficiency for the mobility of tomorrow by separating the drive unit (driveboard) and transport capsule. In combination with various capsule types, the driveboard is used to transport both people and goods. In a first step, a rollable Mock-up was built (U-Shift I project). The development of another prototype with extended functions for driverless driving (U-Shift II project) is described in this article. Automation – implementation of driverless operation based on sensor modules in the driveboard, supported by sensors in capsules and infrastructure. Chassis – integration of a lifting unit for flexible and quick capsule changes as well as a compact design of the wheel suspension. Drive train – design and implementation of a compact drive concept with wheel hub motors and a modular traction battery in connection with holistic energy and thermal management. Electrics/Electronics Architecture – Conception of a service-oriented architecture with distributed services in the driveboard, capsule and infrastructure. Vehicle structure – optimization of the load distribution in the driveboard and the capsules, as well as secure locking of the capsules on the vehicle. Citizen Participation – Dialogue on the Concept.
