The Geospatial Commission is to invest up to £2 million in around 30 projects that investigate ways to improve transport integration, capacity, safety and infrastructure.
The commission is an expert committee set up by the Cabinet Office to promote the best use of geospatial data – data about location that has the potential to unlock significant economic, social and environmental value in many fields.
Location data could help to create new transport connections, improve transport logistics and road maintenance, and support autonomous vehicles.
Projects must identify a public sector lead customer or challenge owner with an interest in the solution.
Areas of work could include feasibility studies into the following:
- integrating transport modes
- improving safety
- improving supply and delivery chains
- increasing capacity
- addressing infrastructure challenges
The deadline for applications is at 11am on 4 November 2020.
