Our commercial and private customers need SMLL for private trials to test their technology, systems or services before bringing them to market or to secure further investment. The results and conclusions from these tests may be confidential and commercially sensitive.

Automated vehicles

Developing an automated vehicle or components for one? SMLL can help you answer vital questions about performance and safety. Our services include verification and validation testing, performance evaluation and benchmarking. Pilot your design ideas in a real-world environment and measure the impact for the environment, traffic flow, safety, costs and user benefits

We provide technical advice, consultancy and project support, plus access to shared open source test data and analysis.

Mobility solutions

SMLL is a testbed for solutions that will connect driverless vehicles with the people and infrastructure around them. We can help you ensure that yours are effective, safe and meet market needs. Run real-world trials, model use cases and business applications and evaluate your solution against city and consumer needs.

You can engage users and stakeholders at London’s SMLL with participation from local volunteers. It’s a unique real-world environment to match, test and optimise solutions for vehicles and infrastructure.

Fleet operators

If you’re a commercial fleet operator, SMLL can help you make sure you’re always one step ahead of the coming transition to driverless vehicles.

Work with us to develop use cases and business models for automated fleets. SMLL provides a testbed to explore critical fleet operator issues such as the effectiveness of technology, customer readiness, kerbside management and access.

SMLL’s local volunteer trial participants can help you understand customer and stakeholder engagement. Test out delivery and management, evaluate performance, assess impacts and benefits. When your trials are complete, we can support you in obtaining operational certification and approvals.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure businesses can test solutions in SMLL’s real-world environment, alongside the CAVs they will support.

Our urban environment is ideal for ‘plug and play’ equipment trials. It’s equipped with DSRC and C-V2X infrastructure with centralised controls. Infrastructure operators can evaluate real-world connectivity scenarios for CAVs and related solutions.

At SMLL you can investigate and test out CAV spatial requirements within wider city infrastructure and design.
