Integrating population projections into intelligent transport systems

More than two thirds of the world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050. The ongoing and future rapid urbanisation is likely to exacerbate existing problems such as air pollution, noise pollution and traffic congestion.

Re-designing architecture for a better world

Architecture is ultimately about improving the built environment and benefiting all of society. But acquiring the knowledge to do that well has become expensive to acquire and hard to share.

Using machine learning to developing human-like vehicle control

How do you develop a human-like autonomous driving system that would drive a 200+ mile journey across the UK, through live traffic and in natural conditions?

Innovation on the Eurotunnel

Even large and iconic rail companies can sometimes use a hand when it comes to navigate an innovation market. We were asked by Eurotunnel to help them tap into the UK ecosystem.

Opportunities for scaling deep housing retrofit

Housing is the third-largest sector contributing to carbon emissions in the UK, accounting for 18% of the overall emission (BEIS), hence we have decided to launch our latest Housing Innovation Programme.

The laboratory for mobility on demand

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is challenging the balance between private cars and public transport. Ride-sharing services and mobility on demand have shown that car ownership can decline when travellers’ needs are satisfied.
