Liverpool-based data centre and cloud IT specialists AIMES Grid Services are progressing on a trio of collaborative R&D projects, with backing from the Technology Strategy Board.

AIMES is leading deliver of the projects which address challenges in the UK’s roads, rail and ports network.

The firm will work with regional partners including Liverpool City Region, Merseyrail and JMD Haulage, as well as international players such as BT and the European Space Agency (ESA).

Dennis Kehoe, chief executive of AIMES Grid Services, said: “Liverpool has a rich heritage as a global transportation hub and these projects continue this tradition by exploring how the latest digital technology can help to relieve the transport issues of the modern age, such as effective management of urban congestion corridors.

“The projects also provide an excellent opportunity to create partner ecosystems which benefit businesses close to home and further afield. Collaborating with organisations such as Peel Ports and Freightliner, showcases the digital services and infrastructure that we have in this city, and the UK generally, and promotes Liverpool as a centre for digital innovation.”
