    KMUTT’s groundbreaking 5G autonomous bus

    King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (KMUTT) has officially launched Thailand’s first 5G unmanned electric bus in Ayutthaya. This project marks a major milestone in the country’s autonomous vehicle and smart transport sectors. The bus aims to reduce carbon emissions and promoting the use of sustainable transport. The bus offers free rides around the Ayutthaya Historical Park. This initiative began in 2022. And it is a result of extensive research funded by a 27 million baht grant from the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC). The bus will serve as a prototype for future driverless electric vehicles (EVs), reflecting KMUTT’s commitment to innovation in the fields of telecom and autonomous systems.

    KMUTT’s collaboration with leading local tech companies marks a pivotal moment for Thailand’s transport and telecom sectors. The integration of 5G technology into the unmanned electric bus enhances its operational efficiency and safety, addressing the need for sustainable mobility solutions. The bus’s development is a result of cutting-edge research with further advancements expected to refine the vehicle’s autonomous capabilities. This partnership ensures that Thailand is well-positioned to embrace next-generation transport solutions that not only reduce environmental impact but also streamline urban mobility.

    The future of autonomous transport in Thailand

    The launch of the 5G unmanned electric bus signifies a monumental shift in how Thailand approaches autonomous transport. By providing free rides in the historic city of Ayutthaya, the project serves as a testbed for evaluating the performance of autonomous EVs in real-world conditions. The success of this pilot will have broader implications for the development of similar technologies in other sectors, including logistics and private transport.
