AUTONOMOUS
AND CONNECTED
VEHICLES

Exploration Phase
• What could connected and Autonomous Vehicles help address
transport issues? – new mobility models
• Understand impact on the city – planning, infrastructure etc
• Deliveries and logistics
• Future proof current projects
• Unintended consequences – Increase cars/congestion less use
of mass transit

Initial Work
• Workshops – Centre for Smart
Infrastructure and Construction
(University of Cambridge)
• Study on possible use cases– Guided
Busway
• Study looking at mass transit system
• Consortium – European Funding bid
looking at autonomous tech and
passenger experience
• CCAV bid

RENEWABLE
ENERGY AND
STORAGE

Renewable Energy/Storage
MLEI Programme
• Set up a long term financial mechanism (Low Carbon Investment Fund or L-CIF) that
has identified public sector investment
• Established an investment pipeline of energy infrastructure projects; community
scale low carbon energy generation and retrofit schemes
• Set up appropriate delivery arrangements via an energy services company to deliver
low carbon infrastructure using the fund

Delivery
• 12mw Solar farm
• Retro-fit schools programme – energy performance contracting
• The agreement to support an Energy Investment unit

Why built environment professionals
will need to become expert at
collaborating with the customer, the
local community, and society at large.
