Local Authority Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) Questionnaire
How many EV charging points are available?
Devon County Council do not hold this information; however by way of assistance we provide a map of charging points for electric car drivers in UK: Zap-Map
Do CAVS feature in your local transport plan?
No
Do you make available data for parking and driver information services (such as supporting smart parking services that combine finding a space, payment and navigation)?
No
Do you utilise data from vehicles and the devices in them to plan and value-engineer future traffic investment and maintenance via smarter asset management?
No
Do you utilise tools such as Signal Phase and Timing to reduce emissions and smooth traffic?
No
Do you use data direct from vehicles to improve signal timing to reduce congestion?
No
Have you undertaken projects involving CAVS?
No, however, Devon County Council were involved with a City Science Roads for the Future report on CAVs (see Dedicated-Driverless-Spaces.pdf (cityscience.com))
Are you looking to undertake projects involving CAVS?
Not currently
Have you undertaken public engagement focused on CAV?
No
