From bikes to autonomous buses - how we move in the future is likely to be different to how we move today.
Solihull Council is working to understand how the roads of the future need to look. Across a wide portfolio of projects that stretches from new cycling and walking links, to trialling emerging zero emission autonomous vehicle technology, work to help shape the future is under way.
Our Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) pathfinder project has involved working in partnership with a range of organisations to demonstrate real-world uses and learn about the technology. The aim is to better understand how, in the future, residents and visitors might be offered new means of zero emission shared transport and an alternative to single occupancy car journeys.
A series of successful passenger trials involving the use of a fully electric self-driving shuttle have already taken place in Solihull, across the NEC, Birmingham Airport and Birmingham Business Park.
Building on the success of previous deployments, Solihull Council is currently leading a consortium of partners to deliver our most ambition project yet, The Solihull and Coventry Automated Links Evolution (SCALE)
