Intelligent Mobility: Policy and Practice

[ Book online ]

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.

At the end of the course, delegates will be able to:

• achieve an understanding of what the concept of IM means and how it came about
• express familiarity with national government policy and European policy about IM
• work with the main legislative measures that enable IM
• use knowledge from the three outcomes above to construct future IM measures as technology develops and as policy and legislation permits
• guide and advise transport authorities and organisations about IM policy and practice
• assess IM schemes, comparing their effectiveness and how they meet policy
