−	A Rapid Engineering Model is a digital workflow that is being used to automate the design process for Highways England Smart Motorways Programme (SMP). A smart motorway is defined as a concept that incorporates technology and procedures to monitor and respond to fluctuating traffic conditions on our motorways. Smart motorways which are being currently designed and installed have evolved from several years of feedback, lessons learnt and improvements since their first deployment on the M42 motorway in 2006.	+	A Rapid Engineering Model (REM) is a digital workflow that is being used to automate the design process for Highways England Smart Motorways Programme (SMP).
