Foresight Vehicle Technology Roadmap

• Innovate 2006
• 2nd November 2006

SMMT Foresight Vehicle

• SMMT Foresight Vehicle is the UK's prime
  knowledge transfer network for the automotive
  industry
• Originates from the 1993 Government White Paper
  Realising our Potential
• Initiated by the DTI, now administered by the
  Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders
• Integral part of the KTN network

4
Vision and Mission
5
Achieving the Mission

• Development of a sector level technology roadmap
• Harnessed input from experts in industry,
  academia and stakeholders in the transport sector
• A rich picture of markets, products, systems
  and technologies

6
Result

• DTI recognition as a major contribution to
  prioritising the technology needs for the vehicle
  sector
• Provides the framework for investment in vehicle
  RD in the UK
• Used by the Technology Strategy Board as an input
  into setting strategy
• Used to help set the agenda for Collaborative RD
  Technology calls
• Used as an example of how a sector can get its
  act together

Technology Roadmap

• Developed to identify technology and research
  themes for the road transport sector
• Considers a 20 year timescale
• Version 1.0 2002
• Version 2.0 2004
• Version 3.0 2007

9
Version 1.0

• Technology roadmap process carried out by the
  Institute for Manufacturing, Cambridge University
• Input from gt130 experts representing gt60
  organisations

10
Architecture

Process
10 workshops to collect, structure and share
information and views 10 month duration

• Technological
• Political
• System

15
Expert Opinion

• Experts from the thematic groups
• Workshops to consider the trends and drivers, and
  performance measures and targets

16
Version 2.0

• Version 1.0 conceived as a live document
• Focus the roadmap to more clearly identify
  priorities
• Strengthen the link between industrial
  requirements and research challenges
• Provide a means for ongoing maintenance without
  undue overhead

17
Process

• SMMT Engineering Committee reviewed performance
  measures and targets
• Review of the trends and drivers by a stakeholder
  workshop
• Thematic group workshops reviewed the range and
  scope of technologies to achieve the targets

18
Destinations SMMT Engineering Committee
Routes Workshops
How
Will be answered by the applications in response
to the DTI Technology Programme calls
19
SMMT Input

• SMMT agreed to provide inputs on destinations and
  arrival times by the Engineering Committee
• 3 major themes identified
• Progress towards zero emissions
• Progress towards zero accidents
• Choice for customers and consumers
• Infrastructure and vehicle developments need to
  be linked and in-step

20
Engineering Committee

• Considered targetsfrom V1.0
• Identified any disagreements and omissions
• Identified most/least important issues
• Identified any non-technical barriers
• Provided new information
• Comprehensive review

21
Stakeholder Workshop

• Revised trends and drivers

22
Thematic Group Workshop

• How can TG contribute to the destinations
• Views on technologies needed, performance
  measures and targets
• Building consensus on priorities

23
Version 2.0

• Published October 2004 to coincide with the ITS
  World Congress in Nagoya

24
Version 3.0 - Software

• Feasibility study to convert hardware (paper)
  version to software

Conclusions

• Roadmaps are valuable tools to identify
  technology priorities
• They can be used by communities to communicate
  these priorities as an input into the Technology
  Strategy
• Software roadmaps can act as a link to other
  sources of information and so act as a key part
  of KTN activities
• Software and hardware roadmaps have different
  strengths
• Migrating hardware roadmaps to software is not
  straightforward
