Intelligent Mobility: Systems and Services

[ Book online ]

This course will provide detailed lectures and case studies in key areas of ITS implementation that contribute to overall intelligent mobility. The first part of the course focuses on systems including CVHS and automated systems, intelligent mobility in the freight industry (e-logistics), traffic management, managed motorways, and information systems and provision. The second part of the course focuses more on the people who use the services, with special coverage of technologies that support older and mobility impaired travellers (inclusive mobility). The course is delivered by University-based experts giving it a research-led component; however, there is strong support from external expert lecturers from both industry and government.

The course will:

  • provide an understanding of the basic elements of Intelligent Mobility (IM) systems
  • focus on existing IM systems and show how they use various elements
  • expose delegates to the latest research into IM
  • equip delegates with the ability to design and implement IM systems in future.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, delegates will:

  • achieve an understanding of the basic elements of an IM system;
  • be able to describe a wide range of current and advanced IM systems;
  • be able to use knowledge from the two outcomes above to understand how new IM systems should be developed in practice.

Delegates will also be able to:

  • guide and advise transport authorities and organisations about the effectiveness of existing IM systems and services;
  • assess existing IM systems, comparing their effectiveness and how they meet needs; and
  • contribute to the design of new IM systems and services.
