Abstract
Autonomous shuttle vehicles offer a promising avenue for deploying fully autonomous vehicles on the road and integrating them into real-world traffic. Since traditional vehicle manufacturers have hardly offered this vehicle concept to date, the market is being shaped by many new companies with specially developed vehicle concepts. These vehicles have numerous sensors to perceive the environment for a fully autonomous operation. This paper aims to investigate autonomous shuttles with respect to their sensor set. The focus is specifically on sensor positioning and body integration. It is shown that despite having the same use case, the vehicles differ in sensor positioning and use different sensor integration strategies. Further, the integration strategies are clustered and analyzed in their impact on the vehicle design. Based on this, sensor positioning and integration requirements in the concept phase are derived.
