The University of Pretoria’s Engineering 4.0 Complex positions the institution as a leader in smart transportation research and development.
The University of Pretoria’s new R280 million state-of-the-art Engineering 4.0 facility is pioneering research in smart transport, cities, and infrastructure.
It is also the site of SANRAL’s National Roads Materials Reference Laboratory, where the independent reference testing of materials for the road construction industry occurs. What is particularly encouraging is that this research and development takes place in South Africa, creating local expertise to help the country.
With an interactive design that brings the outdoor aspects of civil engineering indoors, the structure has a striking external envelope and well-thought-out flow patterns. This unique “active traffic lane” uses big data analytics and the Internet of Things to collect vital data in real time, including air quality, emissions, vehicle density, road surface performance, and traffic flow.
