The introduction of our AI tool for automated repairs costing into the existing council workflow offers huge potential for cost savings across its portfolio. We expect to upskill employees with knowledge, akin to the way that the GPS SatNav enabled drivers in the early 2000s. The council's current system is mostly manual, requiring residents to phone in, ...

The Glasgow Automated Mobility Mass-transit Accelerator (GAMMA) project is exploring how self-driving buses could improve travel in Glasgow. Our vision is to test how autonomous vehicles can be safely and effectively introduced into the city’s public transport network, creating a foundation for more accessible, reliable, and sustainable travel in the futu...

Portfolio Plus will build on Parity Projects' market-leading software, Portfolio, to produce retrofit roadmaps that incorporate a greater range of inputs, manages their interaction in programme planning, and delivers them in a format suited to the retrofit data supply chain requirements including financial services, procurement services and contractors. T...

Autonomous Vehicle (AV) pilot studies have demonstrated that AVs can handle "normal" driving; 99% of our day-to-day driving experience. However it is proving harder than expected to train AVs to deal with the multitudinous unusual events that can happen on the road, known as edge-cases. When an AV fails to understand an edge-case, driving behaviour become...

Municipal and commercial fleet managers are under pressure to transition to a zero-carbon operation, but often lack the necessary resources, tools and experience to do so. The aim of this project is to help fleets transition to electric successfully and more cheaply, whilst also streamlining EV fleet operations once electrification is implemented. The pro...

There are a number of challenges to the roll out and uptake of Electric Vehicles in rural areas, these include (but are not limited to): * The availability of public charge points * The power network and supply to support reliable and fast charging * Digital Connectivity to allow payment, availability and booking platforms to operate, etc * The roadside s...

Municipal and commercial fleet managers are under pressure to transition to a zero-carbon operation, but often lack the necessary tools and experience to do so. We propose to develop an integrated platform for EV fleet management; specifically charging, vehicle allocation and scheduling to better support fleet managers. The aim is to help fleets transitio...

"**Need.** Simulation will be a vital component in the Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) safety-case, enabling the validation and certification of autonomous Vehicle Control Systems (VCS). This is essential in cities where the density and diversity of other agents, including road-users, pedestrians, infrastructure and signage, as well as intermodal-conne...

"Project Apollo will deliver a new mobility service: autonomous ride-sharing vehicles in the London Borough of Greenwich. This service is for residents or workers in areas which are poorly served by existing public transport and driven services. The Apollo pilot will be led by Addison Lee, Britain's largest-scale and most trusted private-hire operator, wh...

"The key business need and market opportunity are linked as all UK political parties are committed to building 1.5 million homes by 2022 or more than 300,000 homes per annum compared to 160,000 homes currently being built. To achieve this new approaches to construction need to be embraced This ISCF call recognises the need for change by requiring fresh ap...
