Connected Autonomous Sensing Service Delivery Vehicles (CASS -DV)

联网自主传感服务交付车辆(CASS-DV)技术可行性研究项目旨在解决地方当局和代表其提供服务的公司面临的一些挑战，即降低利润率和继续紧缩。可行性研究将开发一种自动驾驶车辆原型，它可以完成从地面维护(如割草)到街道清洁(如清扫街道)的一系列任务，同时在开车时收集周围资产的信息。这些资产信息将被地方当局用来改进他们维护其负责的资产的方式。该项目的结果将与车辆公司和服务提供商广泛分享，以鼓励前者将AVS作为一种商业解决方案提供，而后者作为一种手段来改变他们提供服务的方式。由Amey和Race组成的财团认为，卡斯-DV是服务提供的未来。

The Connected Autonomous Sensing Service Delivery Vehicles (CASS- DV) technical feasibility study project seeks to address a number of challenges facing local authorities and those companies who deliver services on their behalf, namely reducing margins and continued austerity. The feasibility study will develop an autonomous vehicle prototype which can complete a number of tasks ranging from grounds maintenance (e.g. grass cutting) to street cleaning (street sweeping) whilst collecting information about the surrounding assets as it drives around. This asset information will be used by local authorities to improve the way in which they maintain the assets they are responsible for. The findings of the project will be shared widely with vehicle companies and service providers to encourage the former to offer AVs as a commercial solution and the latter as a means to transform the way in which they deliver services. The consortium, comprised of Amey and RACE, believe CASS-DV is the future of service delivery.
