8101 Highways England has awarded the South West region 4 year Construction Work Framework Lot 6 (Technology) to 8343 Dynniq, comprising Areas 1 and 2, the largest Highways England operating area covering 11 per cent of the strategic road, totalling 230 miles from Cheltenham to Penzance.


The technology being installed covers the full range of field based solutions from Highways England’s portfolio including message signs, incident detection, CCTV, trunk road traffic signals, weather systems, emergency telephones, communications and power.  The team will construct new sites, chambers and ducting; install and test the technology; handover to maintenance; and operate with a Principal Contractor team structure.

The framework is structured to enable the key delivery partners (across a combination of 12 separate Lots) to work together in developing schemes, providing infrastructure and commissioning technology, in a safe, efficient and cost effective manner.

    The UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) has been commissioned by the Highways Agency to undertake a feasibility study into whether dynamic wireless power transfer (WPT) technology can be used on England’s motorways and major A roads, the Strategic Road Network, to prepare for and potentially encourage, greater EV take-up. This study is the first part in a much larger programme of research and trialling for dynamic WPT technology to be undertaken in the UK. TRL was selected to deliver the feasibility st

Solar power has been relatively slow in entering the transport sector, but a current blossoming of activity bodes well for the large-scale harnessing of an alternative energy that is zero-emission at source and, in practical terms, infinitely renewable. Traffic management and traveller information systems, and actual vehicles, are all emerging as areas for deployment. Meanwhile roads themselves are being viewed as new-style, fossil fuel-free ‘power stati
