SUMMARY:NAVIGATES Project Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Shape the future of autonomous mobility at the NAVIGATES Project Workshop.\nCenex\, in collaboration with Angoka and ITS UK\, is looking to invite industry representatives to a workshop as part of Project NAVIGATES (Networked Autonomous Vehicle Integration and Governance with Advanced Technology Security). \nFor No User in Charge (NUiC) operation\, the UK Automated Vehicles Act 2024 requires that\, in addition to the Authorised Self Driving Entity (ASDE) responsible for the vehicle’s driving behaviour and compliance\, there be a licensed NUiC operator responsible for the detection of\, and response to\, problems arising during NUiC operation. \nProject NAVIGATES is a collaborative study to examine the use cases\, feasibility and benefits of regional RSOCC (Remote Service Operator Control Centres) for the centralised management and co-ordination of autonomous vehicle activities. \nSimilar to air traffic control centres\, regional centres would oversee fleets of driverless vehicles operating with NUiC\, assisting the provision of coordinated services and offering economies of scale aiding the business case for the roll of out Connected Automated Mobility.  Project NAVIGATES is the first dedicated study in the UK to explore this model in detail. \nThe Workshop\nThis workshop will look to gather industry expertise and insights to define the operational and technical requirements\, develop a robust business case\, and outline the roadmap for centres in the UK. \nITS UK members are invited to attend\, with 25 spaces available for the workshop\, which will take place at CENEX Expo on Tuesday 3 September. Places are offered on a first come\, first served basis. \nThis event is run by CENEX and ANGOKA\, in partnership with ITS UK. \n  \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Active Travel Forum
DESCRIPTION:How do we solve an issue like active travel data?\nOn Thursday 26 June\, from 10 to 11.30am\, the ITS UK Active Travel Forum will be holding a webinar focusing on how we solve challenges around data for active travel. \nThis webinar will focus on some of the opportunities and challenges with an excellent line-up of speakers from Active Travel England\, Transport for London\, See.Sense and Vivacity. \nIncreasingly\, the active travel industry needs to identify demand for infrastructure\, ensuring urban spaces are designed to support sustainable\, long-term growth in walking\, wheeling and cycling\, while protecting vulnerable road users; and evaluate the success of active travel schemes – understanding their real-world impact and informing their return on investment. \nYet\, a key challenge with these activities is the lack of high-quality\, in-depth data on active travel participation\, safety\, accessibility\, interactions between different types of road users and the impacts of infrastructure design on these factors. How do we ensure we have the right data\, at the right quality and have the means to use it to inform decisions? \nThis session will explore some of these challenges and a number of solutions that are being developed and implemented. Following presentations from our speakers\, there will be dedicated time to ask questions and share your thoughts. \nRegister Now \n\nAgenda\n10am | Welcome from Chair\nGeorge Beard\, Head of New Mobility\, TRL \n10.05am | Presentation title TBC\nMichael Barratt\, Construction Advisory & Innovations Manager\, Transport for London \n10.25am | Data challenges faced by local authorities and how Active Travel England is addressing them\nChris Stewart\, Director of Data and Analysis at Active Travel England \n10.45am | Data Insights to support infrastructure design and investment\nIrene McAleese\, Co-founder and CSO\, See.Sense \n11.00am | How AI powered sensors can deliver valuable insights on Active Travel\nShane Foley\, Head of Growth and Partnerships\, Vivacity \n11.15am | Q & A & Discussion \n11.30am | Close

SUMMARY:Enabling Multi-Modal Journeys: A DfT - ITS UK Joint Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The Integrated National Transport Strategy will be published this year and set the long-term vision for transport in England\, focusing on how transport should be designed\, built and operated to better serve all people who use it. \nThe Strategy will focus on the role transport plays in enabling access to opportunities including education and jobs\, and support the devolution agenda and the creation of great places by setting out how local leaders will be enabled to deliver good transport that is right for their communities. \nAlongside this\, the Department for Transport are developing a Data Action Plan which will show how data can enable an integrated transport system. It will set out actions required to ensure transport data can support modal integration and deliver more accessible transport. \nData will play a critical role in achieving this. Often\, it’s the journeys across different modes or regions that struggle to provide customers with clear information that helps improve their experience. Creating a more seamless flow across operators will be vital in delivering a truly integrated transport network. \nFollowing a series of external engagement events\, the Department for Transport and ITS UK are working together to run a workshop focused on how data can support multi-modal journeys. \nThe workshop will centre on key case studies developed by DfT and will ask participants to explore how applications of data can help in making the journeys described within the case studies more seamless. \nThis event is open to all (you do not need to be an ITS UK member to attend)\, with DfT and ITS UK welcoming the following: \n\nNational\, regional and local transport authorities\nTransport operators and suppliers\nTechnology providers and consultancies\nUser groups and representative bodies\n\nWe encourage those attending to be ready to input into the workshops over the course of the day. A full agenda and case studies will be shared with delegates ahead of the event. \nRegister here\n  \n  \n\n\nThis is a joint event organised by:\n         \n

SUMMARY:Freight Forum
DESCRIPTION:Technology and the route to freight decarbonisation \nJoin ITS UK’s Freight Forum on 22 April as we explore how developments in technology can support the decarbonisation of the sector. \nTransport accounts for 28% of the UK’s total domestic emissions. Of these\, road vehicles were the primary source\, with heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) contributing 17% and light vans 16% of all transport emissions. \nTechnology has a major role to play in supporting the decarbonisation of the freight sector\, whether through greater efficiency of operations\, new fuels or reducing the number of journeys required. \nThe Freight Forum will explore these issues at their next meeting. They will be visiting Welch’s Transport in Duxford\, Cambridge\, with the meeting involving a depot tour and presentations from alternative fuel infrastructure providers\, fleet decarbonisation consultants\, freight media and the FORS scheme. \nJoin us for what is set to be a fascinating day exploring the future of freight! \nRegister here\n  \n\n\nAgenda\n11.00am | Arrivals and networking \n11.30am | Site tour \n12pm | Lunch \n1pm | Welcome from Forum Chair Matt Lott \n1.15pm | Beyond the Electric Fleet Building a Sustainable Transport Ecosystem Through Energy Innovation\nChris Welch\, Managing Director\, Welch’s Transport \n1.30pm |  What are the policies and strategies that can help with HGV decarbonisation\nJames Nankivell\, Associate Director – Freight and Fleet Project Manager\, WSP \n1.45pm | Helping fleet operators along the road to net zero\nGlen Davies\, Technical Director\, FORS – Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme \n2pm | Launching a national network of clean\, multi-energy hubs in the UK\nKaisa Chodurek\, Director of Business Development\, AEGIS \n2.15pm | Q&A with Panel \n2.30pm | Close
