1 Connected and Automated Mobility in London Viajeo PLUS City Showcase November 2015, Singapore Natalia de Estevan-Ubeda Transport for London

2 Connected and Automated Mobility in London What it means, how it challenges us and what we need to watch out for Natalia de Estevan-Ubeda Head of International ITS Policy and Strategy Singapore, November 2015

3 Structure of this presentation Introducing Transport for London The challenges London faces Connectivity and automation in the context of the city Examples, trends, opportunities, barriers, enablers 2

6 A city challenged by its growth 8

7 Making sense of connectivity 650 million transport sensors will be deployed by

8 TfL s Surface Transport: 24,000 sensors today 1,300 Safety/CCTV cameras 6,800 Buses with ibus 7,440 Roadside sensors 8,000 Cameras on the buses 72 Kerbside air sensors 3,450 Members of staff 7

10 TfL s position on Connected and Automated Vehicles We are working with industry to enable optimal deployment of CAVs in London 5

11 Opportunities for the city Maximising road network capacity and utilisation Understanding customer s behaviours and enabling customer insight Freight and Public transport use cases Maximising safety Reducing emissions 10

12 Examples of connected and automated initiatives

13 We already have automation in our systems We already have automation in our transport system: Docklands Light Railway and some Underground lines We trialled sending traffic light info to the vehicles: Effective road network management Prioritised Olympic fleet traffic Journey times 30% faster 15

14 Strategic Actions Development and publishing of the CAV Strategic Plan for London Dedicated TfL CAV Steering Group Close working relationships with UK s central Government Pro-active industry engagement to explore data opportunities and new intelligence Establishment of the London Automotive Forum Modelling and simulation 11

15 Delivery of enabling programmes: SITS

16 Connected Fleet - Buses Connected Vehicles (CVs) have in built communication technology that enables them to speak to other vehicles or centralised control centres. Every bus is sharing it s location and receiving direction from centralised control and we have v2v for Headway information. We are planning to expand the amount of sensor information retrieved by the bus and passed back in real time and to provide more directed information e.g. geocoded max-speed direction direct to engine-management to the bus. Ultimately the autonomous bus, must be considered a reality the only issue is when / where 13

17 The GATEway Driverless project in Greenwich (1/3) Venue: Greenwich, London, UK Two year, 8m project high level aims: Demonstrate automated transport safely and effectively in a range of environments Understand societal, legal, technical changes and barriers to implementation based on direct experience of operation Create a long term test bed for the evaluation of future automated transport systems 11

18 The GATEway Driverless project in Greenwich (2/3) Trials: 3 live trials of automated transport Eight fully driverless, electric shuttles (not on public roads) Fully autonomous valet parking of cars Third live trial to be finalised based on feedback TRL DigiCar simulator study of automated vehicle human factors Demonstration of teleoperation remote operation of a vehicle Extensive public, media and industry stakeholder engagement throughout 11

20 Now let s look at market disruptors and the challenges

21 Market disruption trends Changing attitudes towards driving in London: A blurring of boundaries:. People are driving less Shared economy OEM mobility programmes Taxi, Private Hire, car clubs Enabled by technology and smart phones New entrants disrupting market Very cost competitive 5

22 Challenges Manage tensions around Public Sector Open Data and data aggregation to generate value CAV Investment business cases vs other priorities? Pace of technology is accelerating: are we moving with it? Obsolescence,, resillience, liability and risk Address behavioural change, choice mobility options and impacts on public transport 18

23 Unintended consequences and potential disbenefits Value Public Transport Behavioural change Data issues Investment realisation if market uptake does not meet projections Business case? Impacts Disruptive transport services that depend on connectivity will become increasingly common Licencing Accessibility Progress has been made in encouraging active travel (cycling and walking) Watching over CAVs not being deployed at the detriment of wider societal benefits Consumer preference and choices 9

24 Integrating the e-mobility portfolio Autonomous Vehicles Connected Infrastructure Low Emission Vehicles Car Clubs OEM Mobility Mobility as a Service Buses & on-demand services Customer Journey 16

25 Conclusions Automated by itself does not necessarily deliver wider benefits for the city It is the connectivity that is going to deliver the benefits first New mobility services and flexible bundle packages are likely to become the norm in a connected city Private and Public sources of data need to come together Public transport (as is) is still the most efficient way to move people in dense urban cores. Going forward there may be more efficient ways and automation will be key. 17

26 Mobility is changing the way we live our lives all over again 19
