Physical infrastructure may need changing for CAVs. For example, it needs to accommodate charging technologies and parking for different vehicle types. Infrastructure providers need to consider the impact on pavements, from surface quality and road markings to drainage.

Some vehicles and services may need new routes creating, to avoid more complex environments. CAV technology infrastructure means 5G and V2X.

At SMLL you can explore and test all these factors.

SMLL capabilities:

• Find out how specific kinds of infrastructure can support CAVs and understand the needs of particular applications

• SMLL’s monitoring facilities provide a rigorous and comprehensive external view that in-vehicle technology alone can’t provide, with cameras, video analysis and ITS systems

• Use SMLL’s CAV test vehicles to understand the performance of current and planned infrastructure and to refine its design

• Connected and automated mobility (CAM) ready infrastructure includes electric vehicle (EV) and V2X infrastructure. SMLL is connected to O2’s 5G network in North Greenwich
