The Sunderland Advanced Mobility Shuttle (SAMS)
ANGOKA’s role
ANGOKA is facilitating a safe operating environment by securing the Intelligent Transport Systems from cyber attack and protecting the integrity of data exchanged between different transport modes. This includes the traffic management and EV-charging infrastructure.
Project overview
The SAMS initiative will test a self-driving, emissions-free Auto-Shuttle. This shuttle will ferry passengers between Sunderland Interchange, Sunderland Royal Hospital, and the University of Sunderland City Campus on public roads. Although safety drivers will accompany each ride, the project aims to establish and showcase a secure remote supervision protocol, paving the way for future commercial use.
