RoadLab 2.0
Project objectives
This project looks to introduce new ways to reduce adverse impacts of roadworks in London, by working with innovative companies to shape these in a way that responds to the problems London faces.
Our Open Innovation team - with sponsorship from the Lane Rental Governance Committee (LRGC) - is looking to fund up to eight projects focused on two problem statements:
Problem statement 1 - Portable traffic signals
How might we improve the reliability and efficiency of portable traffic signals (PTS) to reduce congestion and emissions?
Problem statement 2 - Pedestrian and cyclist flow data
How might we get better data on trips and journeys taken by pedestrians and cyclists to improve TfL's offering to vulnerable road users during roadworks?
