Construction and infrastructure

Autonomy and safety solutions designed to optimise operations across construction and infrastructure projects.

AUTONOMY, UNLOCKED

Removing barriers to safer, more productive operations

Construction and infrastructure projects face mounting pressure to improve safety, productivity, and resource utilisation.

Autonomy is widely seen as a solution – but for many operators, it remains out of reach due to high costs, complex integrations, and the need to replace existing fleets. ABD Solutions reduces these barriers.

Our retrofit autonomy enables remote operation and supervised autonomy using the vehicles you already own, while our AI-powered human detection and alert systems enhance site safety by reducing the risk of accidents.

With faster deployment and lower disruption, you can realise the benefits of autonomy sooner – working more efficiently, protecting your people, and getting the most from your assets.

BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

Proven autonomy, lower risk

Traditional off-highway autonomy often involves replacing vehicles, integrating proprietary systems, and committing to long development cycles – introducing risk and uncertainty. ABD Solutions takes a different approach.

Our driving robotics retrofit directly to existing vehicles, enabling remote operation and supervised autonomy without disrupting your fleet. Proven over many years and across a wide range of deployments, our technology delivers predictable performance, faster deployment, and seamless integration – reducing risk while accelerating results.

For manually operated vehicles, our standalone human form detection system adds an extra layer of safety. It continuously monitors blind spots using a 360-degree camera array and alerts operators when personnel enter predefined danger zones – enhancing situational awareness in real time, even in complex environments.

ACCESSIBLE AUTONOMY FOR EVERY SITE

Maximise fleet value

Retrofit existing vehicles instead of replacing them, extending asset life with autonomy.

OEM-agnostic flexibility

Automate mixed fleets from multiple manufacturers without being locked into one brand.

Real-time human detection

360° AI-powered monitoring identifies people in blind spots and issues instant alerts.

Rapid deployment

Install autonomy kits quickly to minimise downtime and keep projects on track.

Leopard II tank automation for the Bundeswehr

Wehrtechnische Dienststelle 91 (WTD 91) is the Bundeswehr’s technical centre responsible for analysing, testing and evaluating weapons and weapon systems. It operates the largest fully instrumented ground firing range in Western Europe.

ABD Solutions’ sister company AB Dynamics partnered with WTD 91 in Germany to automate a Leopard II tank using advanced robotic actuators. The automated Leopard II tank is used as a target vehicle to support the development of next-generation weapons systems. AB Dynamics achieved this by installing standard steering and pedal control robotics, adapted with bespoke mounts to fit the tank’s restricted and unconventional interior, while retaining the ability for manual operation when required.

The system enables the tank to follow pre-programmed routes with exceptional accuracy, navigating complex obstacle layouts designed to challenge missile guidance systems. Despite being a tracked vehicle, the Leopard II maintains steering precision within 20 cm, even across rough terrain.

In addition to fully driverless path-following, the tank can also be remotely operated or driven by a human operator, providing maximum flexibility for a wide range of test scenarios.

ABD Solutions extends life of legacy mining fleet with driverless technology

A mining client in the Asia–Pacific region operates a mixed fleet of mid-sized haul trucks from three different OEMs – making it impossible to adopt a single, native autonomous haulage system. Facing labour shortages in a remote location, the client planned to retire an older truck in the coming year. Instead, they engaged ABD Solutions to demonstrate the potential of its retrofittable driverless technology.

On site, ABD Solutions mobilised quickly and installed its robotic actuation system into a 24-year-old CAT 789C haul truck – one with no onboard computer or CAN-bus. Within hours, the once- idled truck was transformed into a fully autonomous, production-ready asset, immediately delivering value back to the mine.

Following this success, the partnership is expanding. ABD Solutions is now working to integrate the entire fleet – spanning three major OEM platforms – into a single autonomous operating system, positioning the company as the mining industry’s truly OEM-agnostic autonomy provider.

The world’s first autonomous Wolfhound TSC

The Wolfhound heavy-armoured truck is part of the British Army’s Tactical Support Vehicle fleet, designed to accompany front-line patrols and transport essential combat supplies.

ABD Solutions, in partnership with NP Aerospace – the UK Ministry of Defence’s protected mobility fleet manager – retrofitted the Wolfhound with a robotic automation solution. The vehicle was equipped with robotic steering and pedal controls, enabling it to autonomously follow a pre-set path or be remotely operated.

Installed and operational within hours, the system used removable mounts with no permanent modifications – making it easy to redeploy across multiple vehicles. The result: enhanced safety, reduced risk to personnel, and greater operational efficiency on the front line

Our AB Dynamics robotic driving technology is used by the world’s automotive OEMs.
