The Potential
• European Automotive Telematics industry growing at
17% per year with R&D budgets estimated to be worth
€1.85billion a year by 2010
• Related telematics R&D budgets in Highways and
Telecoms industries conservatively predicted at
€0.75billion a year by 2010
• European ITC Framework 7 budget is €9.1 billion
with €105 million currently allocated to CVHS R&D under
challenge 6
The Vision
• To establish a sustainable and internationally recognised
ITS Development centre which will promote research,
development & innovation leading to new products,
standards and services in the area of Cooperative
Vehicle and Highway Systems.
• To provide a platform for marketing and promotion of
European ITS technology solutions / providers within the
global ITS market to stimulate investment in these
European organisations
How Will This Be Achieved ?
• Being first to market with a centre to test, develop and
demonstrate cooperative vehicle highway systems on
one site
• Providing the required test tracks, infrastructure and
equipment to reproduce the numerous telematics
scenarios essential to new product innovation and
development
• Providing a solid platform to attract collaborative and
commercial R&D
Telematics Centre - Overview
• €30M Project
– Project 1 - City Circuit
– Project 2 - Customer demonstration suite and control
centre
– Project 3 - High speed handling & manoeuvres circuit
– Project 4 - Motorway
– Project 5 - Free-form dynamics platform
When Will This Be Achieved ?

Why at MIRA ?
• MIRA offers a cost effective solution due to the
extent of its existing infrastructure
• MIRA has a strong internationally recognised
reputation which will help to establish the
centre’s credibility quickly
• MIRA houses a major proving ground and an
array of additional leading edge facilities, such
as EMC, to augment the centre’s services to
customers.
• The Telematics Centre will be able to leverage
MIRA’s existing skills and expertise in
Telematics R&D and other areas
Who Benefits ?
• Automobile Manufacturers

Provides ‘One Stop Shop’ for certifying ITS systems
Safe and controlled real-world ITS environment
Ability to evaluate multiple-vehicle interactions
Pedestrian and other road user test scenarios
Access to UK existing world-class facilities & services
Enables focus on engineering rather than test scenario creation
• European Tier 1 Suppliers
– Access to secure shared-use facility with better features
– Neutral independent location for collaborative research/problem
solving between potentially competing organisations
• Standards and Certification
– Development and updating of ITS standards.
