Until now, the approach to road safety has primarily focused on analyzing the most common types of injuries based on road user types and crash characteristics. There is a growing consensus to shift the paradigm towards a user-centric approach that considers the specific needs (incl. their diversity) and the behaviours of road users. IMPROVA project will f...

A new collaboration between The Tyre Collective and Transport Research Laboratory. This feasibility will deliver an MVP platform that enables data exchange to reduce vehicle air pollution. To narrow the scope for feasibility, our focus is on commercial freight vehicles, which represent 30 percent of all traffic in central London and make an estimated 281,...

FleetMind is an ambitious project poised to redefine waste management for local councils in the UK. It tackles the pressing need for more efficient and responsive waste collection services, a challenge magnified by urban growth and changing waste patterns. Traditional collection methods, often rigid and outdated, fail to keep pace with the dynamic demands...

Our team is currently completing a study (funded by CCAV & InnovateUK) examining the feasibility of delivering Dedicated Driverless Spaces (DDS) for articulated buses on two five mile sections of the Hertfordshire Essex Rapid Transit (HERT). A key constraint of our current study is that we can only consider fully physically segregated sections of the HERT...

Titan, Alexander Dennis and TRL will work together to develop and demonstrate an electric steering system for bus and other heavy commercial vehicle applications. An approach will be developed that provides a flexible and cost effective approach to enabling innovative low volume manufacturers to bring autonomous steering features to market quickly and saf...

**AIM-DBW - Development of a universal, ISO26262-compliant Drive-by-Wire platform** For the UK's Connected and Autonomous Mobility (CAM) industry to grow and reach its potential, affordable solutions must be rapidly developed and certified to address the critical safety elements of an autonomous platform. Although a heavy focus is placed on developing aut...

NextAD project will advance the UK supply chain by applying Autonomous Drive System technologies within urban residential roads and rural roads as demand for service and commercialisation grows. By utilising Autonomous Vehicle functionality, we can deliver a safer and securer drive for its occupants, whilst offering a commercially viable platform. This wi...

This project will take a crucial step towards enabling fully driverless autonomy - the removal of all human operators from an autonomous vehicle. Full autonomy (SAE Level 4/5), both technically and commercially, necessitates driverless operation without constant human supervision. This project aims to tackle the complex transitory step from the current re...

**ENCODE - Ensuring cybersecure deployments of driverless teleoperated vehicle** ENCODE is a collaborative industrial research project, led by Connected and Automated Vehicle (CAV) developer StreetDrone, that aims to reduce time to market for connected and automated vehicle technology in the movement of goods. The project centres on the use of "multi-driv...

The "Road to Hydrogen" is a demonstration project undertaken in the Teesside hydrogen valley to trial the first 19t GVW rigid truck powered by hydrogen fuel cells in the UK. Lessons learnt in this project will generate the insights required to improve the confidence of regional stakeholders, contribute to the long-term success of the Teesside Hydrogen Hub...

Whilst much is discussed about the potential for **"Green Hydrogen"** from renewable energy to become the Marine sector's primary energy source to replace fossil-fuels, there are neither demonstrators nor infrastructure visible to encourage take-up by the many small ships, owners of which are, as with the electric car, waiting to see how such an option ca...

The Teesside Hydrogen Vehicle Ecosystem seeks to solve a problem that has constrained the development of the hydrogen mobility sector -- the inability to scale hydrogen supply infrastructure to achieve sufficient economies of scale to make the production and supply of hydrogen and vehicle support infrastructure affordable. The project's solution to this p...
