T0402 Smart Motorways - Technical Support

Tender description

To undertake a desktop study, using existing research, to assess the likely benefits, costs and risks associated with alternative operating regimes for DHS. This will be supplemented with initial insight designed to validate the statement that 'customers find DHS confusing', and isolate the cause of potential confusion i.e. DHS as a product, or the change between DHS and other operating regimes, such as All Lane Running and Dual 3 Lane Motorway. This work shall also make a recommendation on the next steps of work to meet this commitment; expected to be simulator trials, and additional insight based on the initial findings from this phase of work. The outputs of this work are to be presented to DfT in November 2022.
