UK Perspective on C-ITS Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)
UK research on connected and autonomous vehicles is effective, targeted at
delivering value for the UK, and coordinated.
the UK remains one of the best places in the world to develop and use
connected and autonomous vehicles.
connected and autonomous vehicles in the UK are secure by design and
handle data appropriately.
The UK Government strategic objectives for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles
(CAV) are to ensure:

UK Perspective on C-ITS UK Government aims for C-ITS
Connected and autonomous vehicles incorporate a range of different technologies,
facilitating the safe, efficient movement of people and goods.
Increased connectivity allows vehicles to communicate with their surrounding
environment. This provides valuable information to the driver about road, traffic and
weather conditions.

UK Perspective on C-ITS UK Government Activity
Supporting the research, development, demonstration,
and deployment of connected and autonomous
vehicles.
Published the Department for Transport’s (DfT) code of
practice for testing driverless cars.
Investing in feasibility studies through collaborative
research and development competitions.
Established the Centre for Connected and Autonomous
Vehicles (CCAV) to help ensure that the UK remains a
world leader in developing and testing connected and
autonomous vehicles by publishing a call for evidence
on the UK’s testing ecosystem for connected and
autonomous vehicles.

UK Perspective on C-ITS Hybrid C-ITS services roll out
Alongside established ITS-
G5 technology it is
important to examine the
benefits that cellular
communications can offer.
The professional view
appears to be that CAV
technology will move more
towards Hybrid
communications as it
progresses.
Testing the capabilities
now is essential to
develop interoperable
specifications and
standards.

UK Perspective on C-ITS View on UK Hybrid Communications TESTFEST
The intention is to use the A2/M2
Connected vehicle Corridor to
demonstrate the potential of hybrid
communications.
This is dependent on the delivery of both
infrastructure and back office systems by
the partnership between Department for
Transport, Highways England, Kent
County Council and Transport for London.
Initial planning of the Hybrid
Communications TESTFEST is underway
with the full scope and objectives to be
agreed by all InterCor partners.

UK Perspective on C-ITS The basis of a Hybrid Communications Test
As part of InterCor we have agreed a high
level architecture for Hybrid Communication.
The approach to interoperability is also
agreed and the TESTFEST will be based on
these concepts.
