Siemens Mobility will provide equipment for a 20km test track dedicated to the development of connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AV) in Düsseldorf, Germany. The company says its intelligent road infrastructure will reduce traffic congestion, enhance safety and provide more availability for mass transit.
Siemens Mobility’s Road Side Units (RSU) will help provide near real-time information between vehicles and infrastructure at four intersections with a signal. In addition, an integrated SPAT (signal pha
Swarco’s traffic control technology has been chosen by construction company SDC to regulate heavy vehicle and plant traffic movements over a two-year building project at the University of Cambridge’s Civil Engineering department. Called ITC-3, the solution is designed for a range of traffic management applications and can be connected to a variety of control and monitoring systems.

In February 2016, Scania will begin testing electric trucks as part of the Swedish Gävle Electric Road project, which will demonstrate and evaluate conductive technology, using electric transmission through overhead lines above vehicles equipped with a pantograph power collector.
The Swedish Transport Administration has now approved support for the project, which is in line with the Government’s goal of an energy-efficient and fossil-free vehicle fleet by 2030. The project consists of about US$9.2 millio
Midlands Future Mobility consortium will turn 50 miles of roads in Coventry and Birmingham into a UK testing centre to develop connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs) and related technologies.
These networked roads will feature smart vehicle monitoring, data analytics and 5G wireless infrastructure. The consortium, consisting of industry and academic professionals, intends to enable industries to carry out tests using real-world environments.
The consortium is led by WMG, University of Warwick and
