About the project

The SVD retrofit programme is the largest deployment of radar-SVD technology worldwide. Delivered to an accelerated timescale, it covers 200+ miles of All Lane Running UK smart motorway, across 23 schemes. Navtech’s radar technology is one part of National Highways SVD system; each part of the system must work together to achieve safer roads.
