Initiative overview
NAVAJO is a pilot project designed to enhance smart mobility by deploying an autonomous shuttle service in Ottignies-Louvain-la-Neuve. Its main purpose is to test and validate autonomous transport technologies and assess how they can be integrated into existing urban mobility frameworks.
The initiative supports:
- Evaluation of safety, reliability, and efficiency of autonomous shuttles in real-life conditions
- Development of guidelines and best practices for incorporating autonomous vehicles into public transport networks
- Demonstration of smart mobility solutions for medium-sized cities
Funded under Digital Wallonia’s “Intelligent Territories (Territoires Intelligents)” call for projects, NAVAJO helps the Walloon Region explore how innovative technologies can improve connectivity, sustainability, and public transport options.
Looking ahead, the project may inform the wider rollout of autonomous shuttles and other intelligent transport systems across the region. Insights gained from NAVAJO will support urban planners, policymakers, and transport operators in designing future mobility solutions.
