project Overview
We help clients create the environment for road transport safety, efficiency and productivity to flourish together.
Here are a few examples. If you’d like to know more, please get in touch.
Euro NCAP Commercial Vehicles
Euro NCAP is expanding its horizons and beginning to rate the safety of commercial vehicles. Ratings of vans began in 2020. Heavy trucks are more difficult and complex but the aim is that ratings will begin in 2024
capri
The aim of Capri is to build passenger, regulatory and market trust in autonomous pods as a practical, safe and affordable way to travel. The pilot project includes the design and testing of connected, autonomous pods.
Feasibility of GB LHV trials
DfT are considering a trial of longer heavier goods vehicles (LHVs) as a possible enabler of greater freight efficiency and reduced energy use. Can it be done safely and economically while protecting the infrastructure?
HELM UK
HelmUK is co-sponsored by Highways England and the UK Department for Transport. It aims to gather the objective evidence to understand what is required to safely allow HGVs to form close following platoons on UK roads.
Bus Braking Data
Transport for London (TfL) aim to install Advanced Emergency Braking (AEB) on new London buses but concerns remained about effects on passenger safety. This project collected a robust new data set to find the answer
RoboPilot
The Robopilot project will accelerate Arrival’s vision of making thinking trucks affordable, elegant, quiet, clean and safe, while removing the entry barriers for electric vehicles.
HGV Safety Permit
Transport for London (TfL) has adopted a Vision Zero approach to road safety. TfL developed the Direct Vision standard as a way of preventing collisions between HGVs and pedestrians and cyclists.
Bus Safety Standard
Transport for London (TfL) has adopted a Vision Zero approach to road safety in London and has a target that nobody will be killed in, or by, a London bus by 2030.
Safer Aerodynamic Cabs for Trucks
The European Commission has been considering amending legislation to permit HGVs to exceed current length limits, in order to allow HGV cabs to be elongated without changing the amount of load they can carry.
