The Greater Cambridge region has achieved growth and success on an international scale, but high commuter demand has led to issues of congestion and poor air quality. The Cambridge Autonomous Vehicle strategy details opportunities to use AVs to tackle these problems.Project Connector will undertake an at-scale trial of on-demand self-driving vehicles with up to 13 electric vehicles providing passenger services that integrate with existing transport services within Cambridge.Services will operate on two sites where there are identified opportunities: The University of Cambridge's West Cambridge Campus and the Cambridge Biomedical Campus.Self-driving vehicles will leverage a 5G connected Remote Monitoring and Tele-Operation service to enable a cost-effective deployment that ensures complicated edge cases can be accommodated through temporary override of vehicle automation.Three electric vehicle models are planned for use, the Kia EV9 and the Mellor Sigma 7 & 8. The fleet will include 2 wheelchair accessible versions ensuring an inclusive service provision. Conigital's lift-and-shift self-driving platform will be integrated with these vehicles to provide existing functionality that will be further enhanced to allow operation with remote operations support.System validation and verification will be undertaken initially in a simulation environment using a suite of edge cases. Specific research will be undertaken in testing methodologies for L4 vehicles with no-onboard operator and system validation will be completed at the test-track.A safety case will be prepared by an independent organisation to ensure an objective assessment is undertaken.The 12-month trial will be undertaken in a phased manner, initially with engineers providing on-board supervision, migrating to trained operators and culminating in a final phase with only remote operators (i.e. no on-board supervision, subject to legislation).Key to the project is engagement with transport operators: providing a self-driving service run by operators with operator staff and management, ticketing and payment mechanisms.A key objective of the project is to assess the commercial viability and challenges in operating self-driving passenger services as a transport mode that integrates with the wider transport eco-system.The inclusion of existing transport operators as the project operator and associated knowledge transfer will offer critical insights between all the project partners and provide an opportunity to continue service operations beyond the project on a commercial basis.Key external stakeholders will be engaged to ensure relevant insights are shared to help define future strategy and regulation and help accelerate similar deployments elsewhere.

大剑桥地区在国际规模上取得了增长和成功，但高速公路的需求很高，导致了拥堵和空气质量差的问题。剑桥自动驾驶汽车策略详细详细介绍了使用AV解决这些问题的机会。项目连接器将进行一项按需的按需自动驾驶汽车进行的试验，其中最多13辆电动汽车提供乘客服务，可提供与剑桥中现有的运输服务相结合的乘客服务。服务在两个地方将在两个地方识别出坎布里奇的坎布里奇（Cambridge）坎布里奇（Cambridge）坎普里奇（Cambridge）的坎布里奇（Cambridge）露营地，并将利用5G连接的远程监控和电视操作服务，以实现具有成本效益的部署，以确保可以通过临时替代车辆自动化来容纳复杂的边缘箱。 Conigital的升移自动驾驶平台将与这些车辆集成，以提供现有的功能，以进一步增强，以允许使用远程操作支持的操作。系统验证和验证最初将在模拟环境中使用一套边缘案例进行。将在测试未进行操作员的L4车辆的测试方法中进行具体研究，系统验证将在测试轨道上完成。独立组织将准备一个安全案例，以确保进行客观评估。将进行12个月的试验。将以一个分阶段的方式进行，最初与工程型运算板上的运算板进行，并在机上迁移，并在董事会上均提供了一项最终的运算板，并提供了培训阶段。该项目的关键是与运输运营商交战的监督：提供运营商运营的自动驾驶服务，以及运营商员工和管理人员，票务和付款机制。该项目的主要目标是评估经营自动驾驶乘客服务的商业可行性和挑战，以与更广泛的运输运营商相关联的运输运营商，将自动驾驶的乘客服务与广泛的运输运营商相关联。并提供了一个机会，以商业基础继续进行项目运营。将参与钥匙外部利益相关者，以确保共享相关的见解，以帮助定义未来的战略和法规，并帮助加速其他地方的类似部署。
