The grants are part of the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) Commercialising Connected and Automated Mobility: Supply Chain competition. NPL is delighted to be working with partners on one of 13 projects funded. The selected projects will address critical technology gaps, enhance safety and security, improve performance and reliability, and create scalable opportunities both domestically and globally.

NPL is working with, Claytex Services Limited, University of Warwick, Syselek UK Ltd, Compound Semiconductor Applications Catapult Limited, RFPRO Limited, Oxford RF Solutions Ltd and Tech Works Hub Ltd, on Sim4CAMSens, after receiving a £2 million grant.

This project aims to enable accurate representation of ADS sensors in simulation. It will develop a sensor evaluation framework that spans modelling, simulation, and physical testing. This project will involve the creation of new sensor models, improved noise models, new material models, and new test methods.
