Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates has launched a trial of autonomous wheelchairs at Isibhedlele sase-Abu Dhabi International, phambi kokufudukela kwindawo entsha yaseMidfield Terminal. Ulingo lubambiswano phakathi kwe-Etihad Airways kunye ne-Abu Dhabi Airports ngokubambisana nomboneleli wesithuthi sombane somntu u-WHILL kunye nenkampani yeteknoloji yolwazi i-SITA.
Izitulo ezinamavili ze-WHILL 'ze-Autonomous Drayivu System' zenza iindwendwe zikwazi ukuhamba zodwa, ngaphandle kwemfuneko yokufumana uncedo kubasebenzi. Ukungeniswa kukhetho lokuzimela kunika iindwendwe ukhetho lwenkululeko okanye ukuba noncedo lwemveli ngeqela labasekeli abazinikeleyo, eliya kuhlala likho.
Ityala eliya kuhlala ixesha elide de kube sekupheleni konyaka, liya kubandakanya uvavanyo olunzulu kunye nokwenza imephu yemo engqongileyo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuqhuba ukuzimela. Isitulo esinamavili sesokuqala kuso nasiphi na isikhululo seenqwelomoya nakwisikhululo seenqwelomoya kummandla kwaye sibonisa izixhobo zokuvalela izithintelo, esinika umsebenzi 'wokumisa' ngokuzenzekelayo. Iimpawu zexesha elizayo kumbhobho zibandakanya isango lexesha langempela kunye nohlaziyo lwexesha lokubhoda lweendwendwe.
U-Mohammad Al Bulooki, iGosa eliyiNtloko eliSebenzayo, i-Etihad Aviation Group uthe: “I-Etihad yinkampani yeenqwelo moya enezinto ezintsha embindini wayo, nokuba kusezantsi okanye kukukhanya. Olu vavanyo lwamva nje lwezihlalo ezinamavili ezizimeleyo alubonisi nje kuphela ukuzibophelela kwenqwelo-moya kwinkqubela phambili, kodwa okona kubaluleke ngakumbi kukubandakanya izinto ezintsha. Eli tyala libaluleke ngokukodwa kuba lixhobisa iindwendwe ze-Etihad Airways kwaye libabonelela ngenqanaba lenkululeko kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ebesingafumaneki ngaphambili. Amathuba angeniswa yile teknoloji intsha ayachulumancisa kwaye amaqela asebenza nzima ukuqinisekisa ukuba amava eendwendwe zeenqwelomoya awanamthungo kwaye azimele kangangoko. ”
UBryan Thompson, iGosa eliyiNtloko lesiGqeba seZikhululo zeenqwelo moya e-Abu Dhabi, uthe: “Siyavuya ukusebenza ne-Etihad Airways ukuvavanya ukusetyenziswa kwezihlalo ezinamavili ezizimeleyo kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Abu Dhabi. Ukuphucula inkululeko yokuhamba kwabo banemiqobo yokuhambahamba yinxalenye yokuzibophelela kwethu ngokubanzi ekunikezeleni ngamava abakhweli angenamagingxigingxi kwaye angenamthungo kulowo nalowo umhambi ngokuphunyezwa kobuchwephesha obutsha kunye nobuchwephesha kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Abu Dhabi nakwisikhululo sethu saseMidfield. . ”
Uhambo olude luye lwavela kumashumi ambalwa eminyaka adlulileyo, nangona kunjalo khange kubekho nto intsha yokuhamba imigama emifutshane. NGOKUPHELELE amandla alele ekubanikezeleni ngehardware kunye nenkonzo kwihlabathi liphela kwicandelo 'elikhuselekileyo, lomntu omnye'. Sifuna ukwenza umhlaba onothutho oluhle nolonwabisayo kuye wonke umntu kubandakanya abo banciphise ukuhamba, kwaye sonwabile malunga nethuba lokuvavanya itekhnoloji yethu kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Abu Dhabi ngokubambisana ne-Etihad kunye neAir Dhabi Airport, utshilo uSatoshi Sugie, uMseki kunye Umphathi omkhulu we WHILL.
Inqanaba lokugqibela letyala liya kubandakanya iindwendwe zenqwelomoya, ngokuhamba kuthintelwe, ukuziqhuba ngokwakho izitulo ezinamavili kwisikhululo senqwelomoya sase-Abu Dhabi, ukuhamba kwiivenkile ezingenamsebenzi kunye neelounges ukuya kwisango labo lokuhamba, ngaphandle kwesidingo selungu Abasebenzi. Ukufika kwabo esangweni, kwaye nje ukuba undwendwe lungene kwinqwelomoya, izitulo ezinamavili ziya kuba nakho ukubuyela ngokwazo kwindawo yokuqokelela ngaphandle kokubandakanyeka kwabasebenzi.
Ukongeza kolu vavanyo, i-airline iphonononga obunye ubuchwephesha obunokunciphisa uxinzelelo lokuhamba kweendwendwe kunye nokunye ukuphazamiseka okunje ngokungaboni kunye nokungeva.
