National Highways' new CAP Levels Maturity Matrix will score machinery according to its level of automation. This is the first standardised measure of its kind for plant, though a standard understanding of automation levels already exists for private vehicles. National Highways said the matrix will offer clarity and a transparent way to compare different types of machinery to suit different tasks. The system is the latest development in the CAP Roadmap launched by National Highways and i3P - the Infrastructure Industry Innovation Partnership: an independent innovation community governed by members. The roadmap was jointly launched in June 2020 and identified challenges and workstreams to support a goal of making automation business as usual in construction by 2035. The roadmap and the CAP Levels Maturity Matrix have been developed in collaboration with TRL - the UK-based global centre for innovation in transport and mobility - as well as i3P, Costain and over 75 industry stakeholders. |
