What have we been doing through 2018? Colas hosted HE Regional Directors, HE H&S team, HE Communications team, CCAV and members of the HE Traffic Management Cat Man framework on 20th February at Goodwood. Offered guests the opportunity to see at first hand the system in operation. Laps of the circuit in both the Leader & Follower vehicles Offered Colas, the opportunity to gather data regarding systems and effectiveness of the E-Stop ( time & distance compared to US type vehicles)

Additional Goodwood testing Following on from February testing, we identified one or two anomalies that required additional testing. Software update has addressed these Fixes tested through a full days closed circuit testing held at Goodwood on 30th November, new issues identified regarding Radio / WiFi interference

GD04 Being developed by TRL to demonstrate that using the Colas AIPV with safety driver is not less safe than existing state e.g. having the driver operating the vehicle. Initially anticipated to be completed by end of Nov 2018, however new document to be developed mapping new programme and risks identified. To be presented to DfT Feb 2019

1.3 Manufacturers have a responsibility to ensure that highly and fully automated vehicle technologies undergo thorough testing and development before being brought to market. Much of this development can be done in test laboratories or on dedicated test tracks and proving grounds. However to help ensure that these technologies are capable of safely handling the many varied situations that they may encounter throughout their service life, it is expected that controlled ‘real world’ testing will also be necessary. Testing of automated vehicle technologies on public roads or in other public places should therefore be facilitated while ensuring that this testing is carried out with the minimum practicable risk.
