"ITS education at Newcastle University is made simpler and practical. My participation in the University ITS Short Course further fired my age long dream of collaborating with others to establish a National ITS Society in my country, Nigeria. The dream is today real, as a result of my participation in the course as well as the support of the course coordinators. I recommend this course to all ITS enthusiasts globally."

Intelligent Mobility: Policy and Practice

This course provides an understanding of the policy background and principles behind the concept of Intelligent Mobility. Participants will gain an understanding of interaction between policy and technology and how technology is being brought to the transport sector to tackle the challenges of future transport provision and operation in the UK, Europe and Worldwide. Examples of policy-driven and technology-driven implementations will be analysed and the impacts, costs and benefits considered in the current context and to meet future challenges and a changing world.
