MK Smart : City Data Platform and Innovation Strategy to Support
Mobility as a Service (MaaS)
Brian Matthews, Head of Transport InnovationMilton Keynes Council
Milton Keynes – strategic location
- London: 88km- Birmingham: 110 km- Oxford: 74 km- Cambridge: 77 km
Cambridge - Milton Keynes - Oxford innovation corridor
“UK’s Silicon Valley”
A global exemplar for rapid urbanisation
1967= 70,000 people
2017 = 270,000 people
MK Future City: Programme
• Address barriers to sustainable housing and jobs growth
• Improve the lives of citizens
• Build leadership in urban innovation
Estimated population growth: 2017 = 270,0002050 = 500,000+

Data integration supports journey planning and mobility as a service
City-wide movement, parking and timetable data
On demand, shared and low carbon mobility
AI motion and parking sensors city-wide
• City scale deploymento 1816 car park sensors (14,000
spaces)o 445 junction sensors
• Artificial Intelligence (AI)- sensors analyse and transmit
data several times per minute
• Potential to connect to traffic signals
• Connected and driverless saloon Car trials - Jaguar Land Rover
- Ford
- Tata
• Test days on live public highways in Milton Keynes and Coventry
• Develop interface with driverless pods and car parking
• Infrastructure

Self Driving Vehicles in Milton Keynes Autopods: Low Speed Autonomous Transit
On demand “last mile” solution for pedestrian and campus settings
Programme:
• 2016: research trials of 3 pods
• 2018: small scale public transport service of 40 pods
Pod flow in congested space
Pod flow in congested space
Summary
• Evolving technology – eco system
• Using MK as live urban laboratory to demonstrate capabilities against real challenges
