What or who we are seeking
Existing transport network operators /
manufacturers with an interest in improving their
service and interested in exploring what different
types of autonomous/semi-autonomous systems
can offer, thus reducing infrastructure costs etc
What’s your innovation/idea
•  To target new transport installations and
provide them with smart control systems
which can initially aid an existing operator/
driver and then be switched to full-autonomy.
Enabling the disabled with real end-to-end
assistive technology.
The services we offer
•  Techical R&D services to produce product
demonstrators in relation to navigation, control
and autonomous systems.
•  Our goal is to aid bridging the gap between
existing rail systems and the human piloted
Taxi. Providing the flexibility of the Taxi without

User experience:
long term comfort, mo1on
sickness & well being, human
factors, control systems.

CAV user experience will be unique:
assump/ons underlying previous
research could be unreliable; realising
CAV poten/al requires outstanding
user engagement, maximising well-
being and comfort whilst avoiding
isola/on and boredom.
User behaviour and inclusivity:
vulnerable users (including oldest and
youngest), occupant postures and
aSen1on, behaviour change.

Behaviour of CAV occupants will be different
to those of drivers or passengers of exis/ng
vehicles. The demands may be extended due
to u/lisa/on by those unable to drive
conven/onal cars such as children, those
without driving licenses, disabled.
Enabling innova8on:
improving agility in product
development, crea1vity and
design thinking.

Stakeholders’ and designers’
requirements will evolve through
the dura/on of the mixed economy
of CAV & conven/onal transport.
Complex products need agile
knowledge management.
What are we looking for?

We are looking to provide exper1se in user experience,
user behaviour and inclusivity, and enabling innova5on
into a significant industry-led project.

1.  Your project idea
We want to engage with citizens and
stakeholders through collaborative co-creation
workshops, to identify and prioritise concerns, co-
creating design solutions and future scenarios that
address them. Workshops can take place in our
studio in London or out on the streets through
pop-up installation stalls. We want to get feedback
and ideas from a range of people and
stakeholders, and to include the expertise of
designers, engineers and technologists working on
these modes of transport.

•  Co-creation workshops: small, collaborative
sessions to explore design ideas and scenarios,
prioritised directions and outcomes
•  In-depth qualitative research: at-home or in-
studio interviews capturing individuals’
experiences, desires for future design
•  Design documentaries: short edited films
highlighting insights from qualitative research
Co-creation workshops are an innovative
approach that include multiple perspectives in
the design process, to explore, identify and
prioritise design solutions. As opposed to a
technology-led approach that hinges on deploying
a particular software or hardware, we aim to first
develop design scenarios together with local
citizens and experts. We will include the
participation and collaboration of a diverse range
of citizens and various experts in the field,
including transportation engineers and urban
designers.

•  Local government stakeholders: involved in
future legislation surrounding autonomous
vehicles
•  Programmers, technologists, developers:
working on related technology
•  Design teams: in companies working on
projects in or related to this space

inter-jurisdictional MaaS
demonstration project in the UK
that includes urban and rural
communities.
2. Innovation: Truly global and
accessible Mobility as a Service
(MaaS) requires systems that can
adapt to regional differences in
data availability and regulatory
environment.
3. TravelSpirit provides
connectivity to a global network
of open-source developers and
transport professionals, marketing
and project support, and global
standards and best practices.
4. We seek partners with strong
regional networks and local
knowledge needed to implement
a MaaS / CAV demonstration that
addresses local connectivity /
mobility challenges.
