• Route on Greenwich peninsula

(TBC)

• 8 shuttles
• Participants invited to experience

the shuttle in a managed process

• Different demographic groups

invited to participate

• ‘Steward’ on board
• Semi-controlled environment
• In-depth engagement with

participants

• Trials recorded on video

North Greenwich tube/bus station Intercontinental Hotel Thames Clipper river-bus stop Greenwich Peninsula Ecology Park The Pilot Inn Emirates Airline cable car

2 .2 m iles / 3 .5 km Draft route

Trial 1 : Extension

Page  21

• Extend trial using Meridian shuttles
• Continue using

shuttles on an ‘informal’ basis on existing route

• Find additional

locations in the borough

• e.g. National

Maritime Museum to Royal Observatory

Trial 2 : Autonom ous valet parking

Page  22

• Part 1:
• Participant drives to drop-off point
• Gets out, sets vehicle off to park

using smartphone interface

• Vehicle fully autonomously finds

parking space

• Part 2
• Participant uses smartphone to summon vehicle to collection point
• Resumes normal driving
• Investigate:
• User attitudes: Trust, acceptance, willingness to pay
• Accuracy of parking: Benefit to parking density

Trial 3 : Urban deliveries

Page  23

• Automated van deliveries
• To be finalised…
• Sainsburys/ Wincanton
• Tesco Express
• Waitrose
• Ocado
• Ikea

• Two year project
• All WPs to commence from Month 1
• First trial will exploit existing

vehicle technology

• Ensures early delivery of automated

vehicle capability and results

M25+: GATEway continues as an active automated vehicle test environment

Regulatory position DfT: Pathw ays to driverless cars

Page  27

https: / / www.gov.uk/ government/ publications/ driverless- cars-in-the-uk-a-regulatory-review

• Summary Report/ Action plan + Detailed Review
• “Driverless vehicles can legally be tested on public roads

in the UK today providing a test driver is present and takes responsibility for the safe operation of the vehicle; and that the vehicle can be used compatibly with road traffic law.”

• Tests not limited to test tracks or certain geographical

areas

• Do not need to obtain certificates or permits, or provide a

surety bond (do need insurance).

Next steps

Page  28

• All three projects commence
• DfT Code of practice (Spring 2015)
• Three trials required to comply
• Co-ordination of Innovate UK projects
• Sharing of data in consistent format
• Analysis of emergent behaviours
• £100m investment by Government

(+ £100m matched funding by industry)

• n connected and automated vehicle research

Next steps

Page  29

• Amend domestic regulations by summer 2017
• Vehicle maintenance
• Highway Code
• Testing without a driver
• Safety standards required (including cyber)
• Amend international regulations by end of 2018
• Type approval, ISO standards etc
