HMGCC Challenge: Using AI to improve transport safety

Connected Places Catapult is working alongside His Majesty’s Government Communications Centre (HMGCC) to deliver solutions to a co-creation challenge, to demonstrate how AI can assist with processing data more efficiently and effectively in the context of transport and cities. There is a budget for each single organisation of up to £60,000, and the budget for each consortium is up to £120,000.

Organisations who can successfully demonstrate systems that make the process of interrogating data simpler – and are accepted onto the programme – will be funded for a period of 12 weeks. Solutions put forward could include horizon scanning exercises and details of what is possible using the latest and emerging technology. They might also demonstrate existing developments in another setting such as banking, insurance or social media. Proposals should be around the midpoint on the Technology Readiness Level; where they have either been validated in a laboratory or relevant environment, or have a technology model or prototype demonstration ready.

This challenge is open to sole innovators as well as academic, industry and research organisations of all types and sizes. Commercial contracts and the funding of successful applications will take place through the project’s commercial collaborator Cranfield University.

Application deadline: 9 May, If you would like to discuss this with someone in our team please message our Sector Lead, Yuchen Gu
