CCAAR offers unparalleled access to expertise and testing facilities in a rapidly expanding research area.
The Centre is part of the Connected and Automated Mobility Testbed UK ecosystem, Zenzic. CCAAR is part of the national strategy to establish the UK as a global-leading centre of excellence for the development, testing and commercialisation of CAVs. Below are some of CCAAR’s most significant projects:
Assured CAV (Highway). The Trusted Intelligent Connected Autonomous Vehicle consortium (TIC-IT), is part of the national strategy to establish the UK as a global-leading centre of excellence for the development, testing and commercialisation of CAVs.
This is a £32M project part funded by CCAV (UK Government) for the establishment of a world class Connected and Autonomous Vehicle testing facility. Key points:
Purpose built, realistic, safe environment for testing CAVs up to the limit of their operabilityA critical activity to ensure consumer confidence in new technologiesThe test environment will be unique, enabling a wide range of CAV driving scenarios to be tested
Assured CAV (Parking). The purpose of this project is to create a bespoke and realistic, controlled set of parking environments to test and support the development of current and future connected and automated parking solutions. The facility is supported by a ‘digital twin’ so users can create and run parking scenarios using simulation techniques in the virtual world.
Park-IT will be flexible allowing increasing complexity of use cases for parking scenarios. It will investigate V2X communication connectively for efficient communication and parking assistance including:
Wireless V2X physical layer simulationCo-existence of multiple V2X technologyNetwork layer co-simulation
