Overview
- Two driverless baggage tractors are now in service moving bags between Terminal 1 and Terminal 4 with no safety drivers onboard.
- Each vehicle uses more than 10 sensors and cameras and is monitored from a control centre where remote operators can intervene.
- The project is co-funded by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, with six additional tractors planned for a Terminal 2 route in 2026 through a CAG–SATS collaboration.
- Safety measures include AV zone markings, clear labels, alert-based monitoring, automatic obstacle avoidance, and a prohibition on remote steering for cybersecurity.
- Following nearly a year of trials covering more than 5,000 test trips, CAG targets a 24-vehicle fleet by 2027 and is upskilling drivers for remote operations.
