Description

While systems capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous movement have demonstrated operational readiness, their use remains constrained by existing rules and definitions that do not reflect their modern capabilities. While aerial inspection platforms such as drones are increasingly used across the rail industry, this research focuses solely on “systems capable of autonomous or semi-autonomous movement” for inspection operations, defined here as ground-based technologies operating on or near the track.
This research aims to unlock their potential by identifying regulatory blockers and enablers.

Public responses to climate-related heritage loss (NP 312)

Various research projects by Historic England and other organisations have been done exploring attitudes to climate change, but a comprehensive population study hasn’t yet been done to produce representative and actionable insights into how people perceive and feel about climate-related loss of heritage (defined as places that people and communities tend to feel attached to: historic buildings; parks; war memorials; locations of historic events; and coastal heritage sites). Historic England wishes to fill this gap to inform some of the Climate Action elements of our Corporate Plan: Further details of this project can be found within the Invitation to Tender (ITT) document.
