In 2014, Innovate UK launched a £10m competition to support the testing of automated vehicles in the urban environment. The GATEway (Greenwich Automated Transport Environment) project was successful in receiving funding through this competition to be delivered by a consortium led by TRL and seeing a range of studies using shuttles, cars and delivery vehicles in the Royal Borough of Greenwich. In this presentation, the planned work and progress to date within the GATEway project will be described in the context of the Department for Transport’s code of practice for the testing of automated vehicles.
Dr Nick Reed joined the Human Factors and Simulation group at TRL in January 2004 following post-doctoral work in visual perception at the University of Oxford and in 2014 became director TRL’s Academy co-ordinating scientific activities across the business. He has led a wide variety of research studies using the full mission, high fidelity car and truck simulators with a number of published articles, conference papers, and appearances in national and international media. Nick also championed work in the area of vehicle automation at TRL, culminating in technical leadership of the GATEway (Greenwich Automated Transport Environment) project – a flagship UK Government project to investigate the implications of the introduction of automated vehicles in the urban environment. In 2015, he was awarded a visiting professorship in the Engineering and Physical Sciences faculty at the University of Surrey.
