SUMMARY:Smart Data Roundtable
DESCRIPTION:ITS UK and the Open Data Institute (ODI)\, one of the country’s leading data organisations\, are organising a roundtable on smart transport data\, taking place on 3 October from 12pm – 3pm. \nEarlier this year\, the then-Government set out the Smart Data Roadmap\, listing a number of key sectors where it believed smart data could have a significant benefit. Transport was listed as one of the industries where a new approach to smart data could lead to better information and greater access to the transport network. Following the Roadmap’s publication\, the new Government published a Digital Information and Smart Data Bill to enable new innovative uses of data to improve people’s lives. \nAt this Roundtable\, ITS UK and ODI will be looking to explore the role of smart data in a transport context. We will share learnings from other industries where smart data has progressed and discuss what a smart data approach could mean for transport providers and suppliers\, the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) sector and the wider transport network. The roundtable will gather key industry leaders from transport and data\, in what will be a fantastic opportunity to exchange ideas and shape a united vision for the transport technology industry. \nThis event is for Executive Members only – to secure a registration link\, please email contact@its-uk.org.
