Capgemini pilots AI-RAN-connected autonomous shuttles under Horizon Europe's Project ULTIMO
Capgemini is working within Project ULTIMO, a Horizon Europe-funded initiative, to demonstrate AI-RAN support for large-scale autonomous mobility across European cities. Autonomous shuttles equipped with NVIDIA Jetson Orin modules process sensor data locally, while select video and telemetry streams are sent over 5G to agentic AI applications running on NVIDIA AI-RAN servers for scene understanding, incident and safety detection, and accessibility insights, with mission-critical 5G traffic given priority access to GPU resources.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Autonomous mobility services need networks that can support real-time scene understanding, incident and safety detection at scale, while preserving low latency for mission-critical 5G traffic alongside AI workloads on shared infrastructure.
The solution
Within Project ULTIMO, a Horizon Europe-funded initiative, Capgemini is showing how AI-RAN can support large-scale autonomous mobility services across European cities. Autonomous shuttles equipped with the NVIDIA Jetson Orin module process sensor data locally, while select video and telemetry streams are sent over 5G to agentic AI applications running on NVIDIA AI-RAN servers. These workloads handle scene understanding, incident and safety detection, and accessibility insights at scale, while mission-critical 5G traffic is given priority access to GPU resources.

How Schiphol is leveraging tech, design, data and AI-powered intelligence to redefine airport capacity and flow management
Royal Schiphol Group built in-house AI-powered tools — Dynamic Time Slots, (Passenger) Flow Balancing, and Gate Planning Insights — to align passenger demand with security and gate capacity. Dynamic Time Slots lets passengers pre-book security check times, steering an average of 7.5% of passengers away from peak moments (up to 22% on critical days), with 99.6% of passengers waiting under 10 minutes. Flow Balancing uses real-time sensor data, predictive models and simulation (a digital twin) to steer passenger groups, preventing over 4,000 minutes of crowding in 2024. Gate Planning Insights uses machine learning to optimise gate stand planning and turnaround operations. Overall passenger satisfaction score is 4.4 out of 5.
AirAsia drives 97% invoice posting accuracy
AirAsia implemented Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP with AI-based invoice data capture, duplicate detection, supplier validation, approvals, posting, and exception review in a single platform for its accounts payable operations. For its initial top-nine-vendor group, invoice processing cycle time fell by 80%, invoice posting accuracy reached 97%, manual data entry effort dropped by 80%, and more than 30% of routine AP tasks became fully automated. AirAsia is positioned to evaluate Fusion Agentic Applications, including Payables Agent and Payments Agent, to further automate exception handling.
Hapag-Lloyd enhances corporate audit efficiency with GenAI on Databricks
German shipping company Hapag-Lloyd fine-tuned Databricks' open-source DBRX model and built a RAG chatbot to automate audit finding generation and executive summaries, cutting review time per finding by 66% and executive summary review time by 77%.
Amphitrite Rides AI Wave to Boost Maritime Shipping, Ocean Cleanup With Real-Time Weather Prediction and Simulation
France-based startup Amphitrite fuses satellite data and AI to simulate and predict oceanic currents and weather, using the NVIDIA AI and Earth-2 platforms. Its fine-tuned, three-kilometer-scale AI models (dubbed ORCAst), trained on NVIDIA GPUs, analyze ocean current, wave, and wind data to help ships optimize routes and reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions. Amphitrite trains and runs its AI models using NVIDIA H100 GPUs on premises and in the cloud, building on the FourCastNet model from Earth-2. Fusing AI and satellite imagery, Amphitrite can improve the accuracy of global ocean current analyses by up to 2x compared with traditional methods. A case study along the Mediterranean Sea found the NVIDIA-powered Amphitrite fine-scale routing solution helped reduce one shipping line's carbon emissions by 10%. Shipping and oceanographic companies using Amphitrite's solutions include CMA-CGM, Genavir, Louis Dreyfus Armateurs, and Orange Marine; the company also works with an NGO to track and remove plastic pollution in the Pacific Ocean.
