Digital Roads of the Future

About the channel

Welcome to the Digital Roads of the Future Initiative. The initiative is leading the way in the digital revolution of our vital road network, a once-in-a-century transformation to make roads safer and greener. The Researchers will explore how digital twins, smart materials, data science and robotic monitoring can work together to develop a connected physical and digital road infrastructure system to deliver resilient roads that can measure and monitor their own performance over time. The Digital Roads of the Future initiative, is a partnership between the University of Cambridge, National Highways, and the Costain group. It comprises of two projects: Digital Roads Prosperity Partnership (DR), a business-led £8.6m research project, supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and FUTUREROADS (FR), a £5.9m programme supported by EU MSCA COFUND, offering 27 experienced researcher fellowships over 60 months.
