This international standard specifies that it applies to electrically powered autonomous driving cargo e-transporters; Autonomous cargo e-Transporters (ACeTs) that do not intended to drive by on boarded driver, that are primarily electrically/electronically controlled for speed and/or steering autonomously without human intervention. Even if in case of over the operational preconditions, an authorized users can operate remotely for the ACeTs manually via an external systems or supplementary telecommunication control devices. It operates in an Operational Design Domain(ODDa)-designated public road environments specified by a manufacturer and include a public access space where not public road environment is such as big shopping mall, airport facilities, big building corridor.
ACeT includes use cases where a remote monitoring operator is direct operating remotely by an authorized user using wireless system and/or supplemental operating devices from the outside.
ACeTs are design to purpose for direct delivery of cargo to personally and it may be for private or commercial use. This document is intended to cargo delivery devices and services provided user themselves and by service providers and not covered to purpose for ACeTs sharing service applications.
ACeTs might need to adhere to additional standards and regulations, where appropriate, e.g., hazardous goods or materials that require special controls may be transported, or the environment in which they operate may be subject to special regulations.
NOTE: Hazardous good or materials requiring special controls are explosive materials, radioactive controlled materials, biohazardous materials, pressure vessels and high heat source objects, opioid such as morphine and toxic substances.
ACeTs do not include non-autonomous driving e-transporters that are driven by an on-board driver or that transport only passengers without a driver. In addition, ACeTs do not have the function to loading and unloading cargo by itself, but the user has to loading and unloading cargo on the halted ACeT.
Electrically powered control product such as e-trailers equipped with propulsion drive and steering functions intended for cargo transport include hybrid assist or propelled power input driving is not covered by this document. Also electrically powered bicycles, mopeds, motorcycles and driver cars are not covered by this document because they are handled by other TCs:
— ISO TC 22
— IEC TC 69
— ISO TC 110
— ISO TC 149
— ISO TC 299
