4. Phased approach – this competition supports part of Phase 2
• The competition will support up to 6 projects across 4 streams:
• Stream 1: we are looking to fund one controlled test environment project for
highway intersections
• Stream 2: we are looking to fund up to 2 continuous public test environment
projects including highway and rural sections
• Stream 3: we are looking to fund one controlled parking test facility project.
• Stream 4: we are looking to fund up to 2 public parking test environment
projects

6. • For each of the streams, we are looking to fund globally significant projects that
allow for:
- testing of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in an appropriate and realistic environment.
- testing vehicle to everything (V2X) connectivity capabilities and methodologies.
- testing of equipment that may interact with CAVs, for example, roadside infrastructure.
• We expect projects to provide core infrastructure that can support modular units
to test different equipment.
• The core infrastructure system should be ‘future proofed’ as far as possible.
• Proposals should detail how the test facility will allow testing in as many
scenarios as possible.
• The bid team must propose test scenarios supported by a business model.
Test Facility Scope - General
10. • CCAV are expecting to invest up to £2 million of funding to support a single
realistic, controlled parking test facility.
• We expect the facility to have areas representing roadside, off road and multi-
storey parking. Features may include:
- Parallel, perpendicular and herringbone pattern parking bays.
- Problematic bay delineation, such as faded, broken lines, kerbs, posts, hedges,
ditches, etc.
- Complex entries / exits such as height restrictions, rising barriers, rising kerbs,
flow plates, etc.
- Multi-storey area should include challenging ramps: straight and spiral types,
challenging natural and artificial lighting conditions, support pillar obstructions.
- Bay marking & signage to allow / disallow parking of vehicle types (disabled /
parent & child / EV charging, etc.) should be considered for next generation
parking systems which may obey such signage.
• Automated EV charging systems (induction, robotic, etc.) may be provided but
must not exceed 5% of the project value.
In summary, the facility should challenge current and future automated parking
systems in as many realistic ways as possible in a repeatable manner.
Stream 3 - Controlled test environment - Parking
18. • Each facility must deploy protective security (cyber, physical, and personnel) by
default.
• Facilities must use consistent and secure data management and communication
tools and processes.
• Public environments and controlled facilities funded through this competition
should make generic data collected during testing, discoverable and available
(but not necessarily free) to third party researchers and developers.
• Meridian 2 competition funding supports a data exchange to provide
comprehensive data collection, storage and management. Each funded facility
could work with the data exchange and contribute towards a national CAV
ecosystem.
• Proposals should detail which data and technology standards they have chosen
and why. Justification could include matches to national or international
standards, or other industry facilities and this should be evidenced. You must
also show how you will obtain any appropriate licences or approvals for
frequencies.
• If 5G is part of a proposal, projects must work with the 5G Testbeds and Trials
Programme managed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport

Data Management and IT
19. • Your project is expected to focus on “investment aid for research infrastructures”
• Support given for construction or upgrade of research infrastructures that
perform economic activities is considered state aid
• You may apply for funding support:
• up to 50% of your eligible project costs if you are a business of any size
• up to 100% of your eligible project costs if you are a non-profit distributing
research organisation and if your activities allow this under the Article 26 state
aid rules.
- In this case, you must demonstrate how the match funding for investment in the facility
will be contributed after the project. This must be a minimum of the grant value
requested and might include areas such as maintenance costs, and so on
• We expect projects to have:
• at least a 30% industry contribution to the initial project costs
• at least a 50% industry contribution to the lifetime costs of the facility
Funding
22. To be part of a project, you must:
• work in collaboration with others
- Minimum 2 partners, maximum 5 (but talk to us if you need to on this!)
• carry out your project in the UK
- conduct your work through a UK subsidiary (not a branch office or non UK office)
- demonstrate that work will be done in the UK (utilising UK staff etc.)
• If you are doing work outside of the UK this is great but it cannot be funded
through this competition
Sub-contracting
• is allowed, and some money can go out of the UK
• Bids must justify why the sub contractor isn’t part of the consortium
• Assessors look for value for money for the UK taxpayer in collaborative projects
• Large sub contracts aren’t often perceived as collaborative so often cause
assessors concern
• If going outside of the UK, bids must clearly justify why work can’t be done in the UK
Competition Scope: Other
23. • Value for Money aspect of each application will also be reviewed by CCAV
economists
• They will be looking at value for money, or cost benefit ratio, in this case is
defined as:
• The VfM process has been developed specifically for these CAV infrastructure
competitions due to the nature of the projects.
• Please consult the guidance for applicants for any special requirements
• In this competition we have relaxed the requirement that no partner should have
more than 70% of costs. We recommend that this limit is observed but
appreciate that in some cases, best value for money may be achieved with one
partner incurring a greater proportion of the costs. In this case, we recommend
that both the collaborative aspects and the reasons why this provides better
value for money are made clear in the application.
