CASS-DV
Connected Autonomous Sensing
Service Delivery Vehicle
Project Outline & Objectives
CASS-DV is a Technical feasibility study to analyse and assess how emerging road based autonomous vehicle (AV)
and connected vehicle (CV) technologies can be deployed across a range of service delivery areas in order to
gather information about the surrounding environment. The project will deliver and trial a fully operational ground based CASS-DV
prototype, integrating existing and new sensors on AVs to provide information about the surrounding environment.
This information will be analysed to identify surround defects in order to aid asset inspection and management.
Challenges
Developing a vehicle to gather enough information about its surrounding environment to be able to conduct asset inspections completed on the highways with enough granularity to highlight defects
Working with vehicle speeds that allow the right level of information to be gathered.
Ensuring data is processed to make it easy for asset managers to identify defects
Gather the sensory data without compromising the ability of the vehicle to operate in autonomous (driverless) mode
