National Highways is set to unveil a new industry-wide scoring system for connected and autonomous plant (CAP).
The CAP system will score machinery according to its level of connectedness (construction plant that is connected to its environment through sensors or wireless transfer of data to a remote operator) and the level of automation in movement and operation, and will allow plant specifiers and users to compare different types of machinery to suit different tasks
According to National Highways, the CAP levels will establish a common language and a framework to enable connected and autonomous plant to be specified and deployed on all construction schemes: clients can communicate clear expectations to suppliers, and manufacturers can describe the capability of their products using the same language.
