The UK's maritime sector directly contributes £14.5bn GVA to the UK economy a year. However, emissions in UK ports are expected to grow four-fold by 2050 unless solutions are implemented to decarbonise the maritime sector a fact recognised by the Clean Maritime Plan supporting transition to net zero carbon by 2050\. Shipping is considered one of the most ...

Westfield Technology Group will be leading an innovative project in collaboration with University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust and Cranfield University to demonstrate the application of cutting-edge driverless electric mini pod logistics, with temperature controlled lockers, linking into an existing robotic pharmacy. The project will be testi...

Following a commercial feasibility study with Emirates Airline and Dnata,Westfield have created,with Ha specification/design for an electric inwheel powered autonomous cargo pod that is able to take aircraft akes(baggage containers) and ULDs (Unit Loading Device containers)all using the same self powered platform from the terminal/warehouse to the aircraf...

ESCIPODs is a collaborative project led by Westfield Sportscars, alongside Zap&Go, Potenza, Heathrow Enterprises and The University of Warwick to develop existing autonomous vehicles for higher efficiency and extended range. It builds on existing research and development that has been carried out in the UK to propose a novel and innovative solution for cl...

The aim of this project is to further develop innovative technologies for connected autonomous vehicles to accelerate adoption of driverless vehicles and allied technologies in the UK. This project will introduce innovative technologies to operate connected autonomous cars in a platoon formation from Stockport directly to the arrivals terminal at Manchest...

The CAPRI project will design & deliver a complete, market ready, mobility service deployable in urban scenarios using trusted secure PODs and systems supported with a 'complete package' of viable business cases, legal, regulatory, insurance recommendations to enable quick and easy deployments. A series of trial deployments demonstrate increasingly comple...

The Multi-Car Collision Avoidance (MuCCA) Project will develop a multi-car collision avoidance system that aims to reduce the occurrence and consequences (injuries and damage) of multi-car collisions on motorways. The technologies developed and used will be very similar to those that will be included within a fully autonomous vehicle including sensor syst...

The flow of tourist in and around the lake district, especially around lake windermere, is a major and growing problem in terms of increase number of vehicles using the small narrow roads and further being compounded by the volume of pedestrains using the roads where there limited or no pavements. The year-on-year increase in tourist and rise in staycatio...

This collaborative project between UK and Chinese partners will seek to develop a fully automated and connected, zero emission urban transport solution. It builds on the existing research and development that has been carried out in the UK and China to propose a novel and innovative solution for clean and efficient urban transportation. The proposed proje...

Supported by the Advanced Propulsion Centre and Innovate UK, this project will develop the ‘Intelligent Powertrain’, a novel and compact solution providing motive power for the next generation low carbon emission vehicles. With excellent flexibility, low mass and small form factor, the powertrain will deliver low levels of noise and vibration. It will ext...

INSIGHT is a collaborative project to develop existing AUTONOMOUS vehicles for safe, slow speed operation on pedestrian areas and pavements, with CONNECTIVITY not only to control and manage the vehicles, but ALSO for innovative data collection and presentation applications that INTERACT with users and other customers of the systems.
