« Tout au long du développement, des athlètes – paralympiques en particulier – nous ont aidés à comprendre comment adapter et améliorer l’e-Palette pour satisfaire au mieux la nécessité d’un mode de déplacement simple, pratique et confortable. Japanese auto company This involved upgrading the multi-purpose vehicle to have larger doors, lower floors and electric ramps that allow passengers – particularly wheelchair users – to board easily and quickly.The Tokyo 2020 version of the e-Palette will run a loop service around the athletes' villages to transport competitors and staff around the area.The cuboid-shaped vehicle boasts a long wheelbase and flat floor that enables it to accommodate up to four people in wheelchairs and up to seven standing passengers at the same time.The e-Palette's interiors also feature handrails and seats that are easy to use for passengers of all heights, while components such as the floor, seats and trim have contrasting colours to cater to people with colour-blindness.The vehicle will be controlled by a specially designed automated driving-system that uses control hardware, software and advanced sensors, including cameras and laser-operated LiDAR (light detection and ranging).These features, combined with 3D-mapping technology and an operation management system, will offer low-speed automated driving at SAE level four.SAE, which stands for society of automotive engineers, determines the intelligence level and automation capabilities of vehicles, measured from zero to five.To further support safe operation, the e-Palette's automated driving system will constantly monitor the vehicle's 360-degree surroundings to check for obstacles.It also has external systems that alert others around the vehicle, including pedestrians, of its actions during automated driving.For example, electronic banners running along each side of the vehicle give written indications to inform people of the car's movements.
