## Summary

The Department of Transport is seeking to address traffic congestion through a project titled "ACUTE - Addressing Congestion Using Telematics Evidence". This initiative falls under the category of research and development consultancy services, with a total contract value of £36,891. Located in Yorkshire and the Humber, the procurement process has reached the award stage, with the contract period commencing on 9th January 2019 and concluding on 3rd April 2019. The tender was initiated as a single tender action, which indicates a direct procurement method below the threshold.

This contract presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialised in data analysis, telematics, and traffic management services. Companies that can leverage anonymised telemetry data to derive insights on road usage and congestion patterns would be particularly well-suited to engage in similar projects. As the emphasis on optimising road networks and reducing pollution grows, firms with expertise in innovative tech solutions or research methodologies in mobility could see significant growth potential in this sector.

## Notice

This project proposes a scalable solution involving the reuse of anonymised journey telemetry from vehicles to obtain a picture of mass mobility. These data are monitored for insurance purposes but offer novel value from anonymous reuse in understanding congestion. The project will build a detailed statistical picture across all parts of the road network for every hour in the week, highlighting where vehicles go and how they behave. Subsequent analysis will focus on characterising typified and less-typified road conditions that lead to congestion, ballooning pollution levels and greater safety risks in vehicular environments. Results will provide detailed evidence on road congestion in terms of frequency, severity and causation.
