Digital Roads of the Future

Driving a digital revolution of our road network

Welcome to the Digital Roads of the Future Initiative. The programme is leading the way in the digital revolution of our vital road network, a once-in-a-century transformation to make roads safer and greener. The initiative involves more than 50 researchers at Cambridge, working collaboratively with business. They will explore how digital twins, smart materials, data science and robotic monitoring can work together to develop a connected physical and digital road infrastructure system. The vision is to deliver resilient roads that can measure and monitor their own performance over time.
