Digital Roads of the Future

Welcome to the Digital Roads of the Future Initiative. The initiative is leading the way in the digital revolution of our vital road network, a once-in-a-century transformation to make roads safer and greener. The Researchers will explore how digital twins, smart materials, data science and robotic monitoring can work together to develop a connected physical and digital road infrastructure system to deliver resilient roads that can measure and monitor their own performance over time.

The Digital Roads of the Future initiative, is a partnership between the University of Cambridge,  National Highways, and the  Costain group. It comprises of two projects: 
Digital Roads Prosperity Partnership (DR), a business-led £8.6m research project, supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and 
FUTUREROADS (FR), a £5.9m programme supported by EU MSCA COFUND, offering 27 experienced researcher fellowships over 60 months.
