Costain has been awarded a contract to design, install and manage one of the UK’s first smart motorways.
The A2/M2 “connected corridor” in Kent will be fitted with wireless technology that can transmit data between vehicles and the roadside units. Initially, the information gathered will relate to repairs, road conditions, speed limits and traffic lights.
Once collected, information will be used to develop standards for information exchange between vehicles and their infrastructure.
The contract was awarded by the Highways England agency, and also involves the Department for Transport, Transport for London and Kent council.
