ABOUT OUR PROJECT

Developing
A Prototype

The HumanDrive project will develop a prototype autonomous vehicle with the aim of successfully demonstrating a lengthy end-to-end journey in a variety of settings.

Including country roads, A-roads and motorways in live traffic and different environmental conditions. Before being introduced to UK roads, the system will be developed and subjected to a robust testing process using a range of facilities, including simulation, hardware in the loop, private test track and small sections of public roads.

One of the key innovative aspects of the project will be the development of an advanced vehicle control system.

Designed to allow the vehicle to emulate a ‘natural’ human driving style using machine learning and developing an Artificial Intelligence to enhance the user comfort and experience.

Innovative
Aspects

Developing a vehicle capable of safe autonomous driving, in a range of conditions.

Developing a machine learning system able to satisfactorily demonstrate “natural” autonomous driving.

Demonstrating a 200+ mile autonomous drive across the UK.

Developing testing, validation and safety methodologies which position UK industry and academia at the forefront of autonomous vehicle knowledge and expertise.

Advancing vehicle security features to effectively marshal a dynamic and real world CAV environment

Understanding the implications of autonomous vehicles on the wider transport system in terms of traffic and infrastructure.
