Car drives round ice rink to test AI-powered anti-skid system
Researchers into driverless vehicle technology have used an ice rink to test a new anti-skidding feature with their autonomous car. The University of Surrey says its 90-minute test at the Guildford Spectrum rink was a huge success – gathering more data than the researchers expected. Carmine Caponio, a researcher in automotive engineering at Surrey, […]
New Surrey research promises the end of potholes to create safer roads
A new thermo-active road solution could help prevent potholes caused by freezing and thawing in the winter, according to researchers at the University of Surrey. A new project that will test the new approach has been awarded a £800,000 research fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering. The outcomes could improve how major roads across […]
Online tool helps people reduce the impact of traffic-related air pollution
Researchers at the University of Surrey have released a new online tool to help schools, hospitals and residents understand and reduce the impact of traffic-related air pollution. The Hedge Design for the Abatement of Traffic Emissions (HedgeDATE) online tool allows users to describe their environment, such as a road with buildings on one side, and then recommends actions citizens can take […]
