This exciting and challenging project will provide a world leading demonstration of UK autonomous vehicle capability at a UNESCO heritage site with resultant global interest, and help UK companies introduce AV tech to

their world-wide products and services.

The project is led by UK technology company Fusion Processing Ltd and comprises leading UK organisations active in the transport sector:

Fusion Processing Ltd: Autonomous vehicle technology

Alexander Dennis: Vehicles Ltd:

Stagecoach Group plc: Bus Services

Transport Scotland: National transport agency

Napier University: Measurement of wider society viewpoint</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
