The International Centre for Connecting Vehicles, Highways and Telecommunications

The Opportunity Telematics-based technology key to delivering solutions to growing societal transport related challenges. –Safety –Efficiency –Environment –Security Currently there is not a single-site ITS test facility in Europe which is –Safe –Secure –Reference –Robust

The Potential European Automotive Telematics industry growing at 17% per year with R&D budgets estimated to be worth €1.85billion a year by 2010 Related telematics R&D budgets in Highways and Telecoms industries conservatively predicted at €0.75billion a year by 2010 European ITC Framework 7 budget is €9.1 billion with €105 million currently allocated to CVHS R&D under challenge 6

The Vision To establish a sustainable and internationally recognised ITS Development centre which will promote research, development & innovation leading to new products, standards and services in the area of Cooperative Vehicle and Highway Systems. To provide a platform for marketing and promotion of European ITS technology solutions / providers within the global ITS market to stimulate investment in these European organisations

How Will This Be Achieved ? Being first to market with a centre to test, develop and demonstrate cooperative vehicle highway systems on one site Providing the required test tracks, infrastructure and equipment to reproduce the numerous telematics scenarios essential to new product innovation and development Providing a solid platform to attract collaborative and commercial R&D

Telematics Centre - Overview €30M Project –Project 1 - City Circuit –Project 2 - Customer demonstration suite and control centre –Project 3 - High speed handling & manoeuvres circuit –Project 4 - Motorway –Project 5 - Free-form dynamics platform

When Will This Be Achieved ? Autumn 2008 Summer Jan 2008 Summer 2009 Outline Approval Design and Plan Full Approval Construction

Why at MIRA ? MIRA offers a cost effective solution due to the extent of its existing infrastructure MIRA has a strong internationally recognised reputation which will help to establish the centre’s credibility quickly MIRA houses a major proving ground and an array of additional leading edge facilities, such as EMC, to augment the centre’s services to customers. The Telematics Centre will be able to leverage MIRA’s existing skills and expertise in Telematics R&D and other areas

Who Benefits ? Automobile Manufacturers –Provides ‘One Stop Shop’ for certifying ITS systems –Safe and controlled real-world ITS environment –Ability to evaluate multiple-vehicle interactions –Pedestrian and other road user test scenarios –Access to UK existing world-class facilities & services –Enables focus on engineering rather than test scenario creation European Tier 1 Suppliers –Access to secure shared-use facility with better features –Neutral independent location for collaborative research/problem solving between potentially competing organisations Standards and Certification –Development and updating of ITS standards.
