Coventry University is celebrating a decade of its work with HORIBA MIRA to drive innovation in connected and autonomous vehicle technology. The Centre for Connected and Autonomous Automotive Research (CCAAR) was established by Coventry University and HORIBA MIRA to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world application. Ten years on, the centre has helped shape the adoption of new technologies but it still has more challenges to tackle. Kevin Vincent, CCAAR Director within Coventry University’s Research Centre for Future Transport and Cities, said: "There’s still a lot to do to fully realise the opportunities of connected mobility, particularly around building more resilient digital infrastructure and extending services beyond urban areas into rural communities. "It’s becoming easier to deploy connected mobility in cities but rural areas remain a challenge, especially for ageing populations and disabled people who may rely on improved mobility for independence. "Inclusivity is something we’re focusing on as it’s not enough to design for solely one group, we have to ensure systems work for everyone." Based at MIRA Tech Park, CCAAR allows students and researchers studying a wide range of subjects from computer science (including AI), mechanical and electronic engineering, and industrial design, access to a live testing environment where they gain hands-on experience that enables rapid translation of ideas into practical solutions.
