We have seen the future of airport vehicles, and it includes the all-electric Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV). The prototype recently made an appearance at Toronto Pearson Airport to demonstrate how it could be used to as an autonomous perimeter fence inspection solution, thanks to its mapping and obstacle detection features.
In addition to navigating inspection routes for perimeter security, AWV is also capable of hauling aircraft equipment, towing a baggage cart, or even function as a mower for vegetation control around airfields. AWV comes equipped with a camera for real-time monitoring and various sensors to operate autonomously, including GPS for location as well as radar / LiDAR for obstacle detection.

Our Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle has been verified to help improve worksite efficiencies and safety through previous field tests, so we’re ready to move to the next stage of exploring real world applications with airfield operators,. As we work toward commercializing the Honda AWV, we want to understand the needs of airfield operators and airport authorities to create new value by streamlining operations, enhancing safety performance and helping to meet airfield environmental sustainability goals,” said Jason VanBuren, systems engineering manager at American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
