THE ISSUE Conference 2014
THE ISSUE Conference Overview
THE ISSUE Conference took place on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th February 2014 at Holywell Park,
Loughborough. Sponsored by THE ISSUE partnership, De Montfort University, UK Trade & Investment, the
Railway Industries Association, Transport iNet, Transport KTN and the Leicester & Leicestershire Enterprise
Partnership, this FREE two day conference brought together delegates and exhibitors from across the UK
and Europe, to network and explore ways of bridging the gap between local and regional policy priorities
and technological innovation. Key themes that were covered at the conference included congestion, urban
mobility and safety in transport, multimodal and modal shift and low carbon vehicles.
Conference hall, day one
The aim of the event was to allow local government, industry and academia to explore how, through more
cross-sectoral collaborative working, new technologies and innovations can be used in transport to ease
urban traffic congestion, help reduce carbon emissions, make transport more efficient and improve the
impact of transport on the local economy, air quality and public health.
Leicester Mayor Sir Peter Soulsby, opened the conference event

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
Key topics that were covered at the conference included: Innovation in Transport; UK and EU Funding
opportunities; Finance and Collaboration; Innovation in Rail; and the launch of our European Special
Interest Group in Transport. Presentations from the full conference can be found at the following web link:
www.theissue.eu/en/a/THE-ISSUE-Conference-2014-presentations.
The opportunity of exhibiting and/or delivering a pitch to engage with potential partners to establish any
collaborative opportunities was also offered. A total of 43 exhibitors took part, with a further 50 delivered
elevator pitches.
Exhibition hall well attended and effective networking
To enhance networking opportunities a Gala Dinner was organised for the evening of 11th February at
Holywell Park. The After Dinner Speaker was Tony Hawks, TV and radio comedian and bestselling author.

THE ISSUE Conference Statistics
11th February registrations:
202 registrations, 168 attendees
12th February registrations:
344 total attendees, 257 attendees
Delegate Feedback
A questionnaire was handed out to all delegates during the event then after the event, an online
questionnaire was sent to all delegates. Most respondents were attracted to the event by the networking
opportunities and the content of the agenda. Feedback showed the event to have been useful, met
attendees’ objectives and provided a good exhibition. Breakout sessions were rated good with some
constructive feedback about how these can be improved for future events. Most delegates planned on
taking further action as a result of the event and would be interested in attending a similar event in two
years’ time.
RIA Feedback
A questionnaire was handed out to all RIA delegates during the event. Over half the delegates attending
the workshop had not attended an RIA workshop before. Feedback showed a good balance between
networking, breakouts and presentations with particular comments on the quality of the speakers, with
Ross Kemp highlighted as a popular speaker. The collaboration of the two events gave delegates
opportunities for networking with people they wouldn’t normally meet.

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
Outputs from Breakout Sessions on 11th February
SMART TRANSPORT
Background
There is increasing demand from citizens to have full visibility of the transport options available and to
travel in the most convenient way they can. However, there is a challenge as to how people, vehicles,
infrastructure, and businesses can be connected into one cooperative transport system. There is a need to
combine integrated traffic and transport management with new elements of ubiquitous data collection and
system self-management.
3 innovative ideas to meet the challenge and their barriers
Idea
1) Identify stakeholder groups and
their requirements including
whether their transport needs can
be reduced.
2) Identify what data is available,
what is missing that is needed,
how they should be gathered,
stored, presented and shared.
3) How, who and with what, do we
convert data into information for
the user?
Barriers
 Identifying the different sectors or category of user.
 Profiling their use or their demands for transport.
 Identifying the person or representative through whom
this communication would take place.
 Factoring events into seasonal or periodic transport
demands.
The consensus was that there were many different sources of
data and a lot of different agencies who provided data. These
included:
The Highways’ Agency
Network Rail
Google
Airlines
HGV operators
Councils
The Police
Public transport fleet
operators
It would be helpful if all this data were available from a single
repository
There would be a need for near real time information available
via mobile apps, preferably of a predictive nature. Ideally
provision for a GIS system, or similar, which could provide
options about travel choices based on a variety of parameters
including: price, time, comfort, weather predictions, real-time
event information etc.
Next Steps: What is now required to overcome these barriers to implementation?
Breakout group had insufficient time remaining to address these. However, it is likely they would need to
consider some of the following criteria:
- Funding
- Policy
- Public engagement
- Technical development

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
SAFETY
Background & Scope:
Pedestrians, cyclists, motorbike and moped riders represent a particularly serious safety concern, since
they account for a disproportionately high percentage of the total number of road fatalities and serious
injuries across Europe. Urban safety is vital as the populations of urban environments continue to increase.



How the improvement in road safety in recent years can be maintained and enhanced?
What advanced safety measures could be introduced?
How can we look after vulnerable transport users to ensure they are safe?
3 innovative ideas to meet the challenge and their barriers
Idea
1) Planning/Policy; to put safety first
and the separation of different
users:
Planning policy, put safety first
in planning
Separation of users
Bike free zones
Cycle lanes against the road
traffic flow
2) Use of drugs/drink/fatigue –
behaviours
3) Autonomous vehicles/proximity &
location sensors
Barriers

Cultural
Ensure one safety feature does not impede the
effectiveness of another, nor create new safety issues
Competing goals/conflicting interests
Cost
Piloting/simulation of proposals
Existing infrastructure
Political objectives/bias and politics
Human nature/reluctance
Acceptance
Cost
No technical barriers but it is consumer choice and
often adds greater costs to car value
Acceptance
Reliability/perception
Consequences of failure
Next Steps: What is now required to overcome these barriers to implementation?
1) Planning/Policy; to put safety first and the separation of different users
- Public engagement
- Guidance for planners across local authority boundaries and specialisms
- Information on best practice
- Cost/benefit information
2) Use of drugs/drink and fatigue – behaviours
- Importance of responsible behaviours in driver’s test
- Insurance impacts
- Enforcement of road rules – to both drivers and cyclists.
3) Autonomous vehicles/proximity & location sensors
- Legislation
- Familiarity/demonstration/education

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
URBAN MOBILITY, Group 1
Background & Scope:
Urban mobility is becoming easier and more user-friendly as more information becomes available to users.
However, as demand continues to increase and the impacts of unsustainable forms of urban mobility
become more pronounced, there is a need to ensure that urban mobility becomes integrated and
sustainable.
3 innovative ideas to meet the challenge and their barriers:
Idea
1) Connected information
Barriers


2) Car-free city cores


3) Allocation of road space in

according to demand

Format
Ownership – paying to access it
Availability
What to do with it
Are we prepared to open it all to Google?
Understanding the business model – is the data free to
use? If so how is it paid for?
‘UBER’ app (this is an App in use in New York that
replicates taxi services – possibly worth examining)
Public acceptability – Connected information is dependent
on collating and analysing information garnered, in the
main, from mobile phones
Some places already do it
Depends on place, culture and how the city is used
Not much innovation here – the barriers are
political/social
This was about ensuring that throngs of pedestrians were
not corralled into narrow footways at the expense of road
space for under-occupied vehicles.
Main problems are gaining evidence on the level of
demand, accounting for goods traffic and acceptability.
Next Steps: What is now required to overcome these barriers to implementation?
For 1) Connected information, it was agreed that much of this information exists; the question then
becomes one of how such information can be gathered in one place and made usefully available. A key
player appears to be Google. The next step is whether or not there is a business model that works; this
requires an assessment of the likely take-up and the potential user demographic. Is this a solution in search
of a problem?
For 2) and 3) [apart from data collection for 3)], much of this is about policy will and public acceptability.
Reallocation of road space/car-free areas are already in the gift of most public authorities. In order for such
initiatives to be implemented, a compelling case has to be made.

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
URBAN MOBILITY, Group 2
Background & Scope:
Urban mobility is becoming easier and more user-friendly as more information becomes available to users.
However, as demand continues to increase and the impacts of unsustainable forms of urban mobility
become more pronounced, there is a need to ensure that urban mobility becomes integrated and
sustainable.
3 innovative ideas to meet the challenge and their barriers:
Idea
1) Enabling micropayments to
incentivise volunteers to move
transport resources to where the
resources are needed (instead of,
for instance, TfL moving hire bikes
on lorries around London, but could
also apply to car schemes, etc):
- Rewarding individuals to take
part in activities that benefit
transport providers/systems.
- Not just about payments; it’s
about rewards to incentivise
2) Enabling microfreight depots
3)
Give travellers a challenge to change –
gamification, e.g. competition to do
lowest emissions journey:
- To encourage right behaviour
from users through competition,
c.f. Nike, Waze points system,
etc.
Barriers











Why the problem happens in the first place – may be
best to address the problem at cause
Information required to get the right people to the
right things at the right place at the right time.
Trust and liabilities
Cost model – must cost less to deploy than what is
done now.
Pressure from those who benefit from the current
situation
Convincing people to do it.
No time to discuss in detail.
Cultural issues; transport providers like TfL do not
play games; separating the transport industry from
the gaming industry.
How to measure how users perform? Linking the
behaviour to benefits, e.g. linking modal choice to
carbon emissions.
How do you engage participants; how do you make it
fun?
How do you incentivise engaging those who will give
the rewards, c.f. Tesco points, free journeys, etc.
Next Steps: What is now required to overcome these barriers to implementation?
1)
2)
3)
‘Micropayments’:
- Feasibility study covering: identifying market; is it the best solution (why does it happen in the
first place?); insurance; pricing structure/demand; locations to trial it at; who should lead a trial
(big or small transport provider); who should be involved in the consortium that trials, etc.
- No need for new technology; it is already available off the shelf.
‘Microfreight depots’:
- Conduct a case study of the Amazon solution involving TfL?
‘Gamification’:
- Establish what is to be compared, e.g. emissions.
- Establish what are the rewards, i.e. what can participants win?
- Develop and agree algorithms to link behaviour to benefits.
10
THE ISSUE Conference 2014
-
Develop mechanism to allow participants to publish how they did and compare themselves
against others.
Further points arising from discussion:
Observations on the briefing note:
1. Is urban mobility getting easier? Information is more readily available to facilitate mobility so from
that perspective it is getting easier.
2. Customer’s expectations are increasing because of their experience from other sectors.
3. Thoughts on questions asked in scope:
a. How can we create changes in mobility behaviour? Through: incentivising, penalising or
transforming, ‘changes’ corresponds to benefits, ‘behaviour’ corresponds to the user.
b. How can innovation and new policy ensure better use of existing infrastructure? Not just
about better use of existing infrastructure; innovation and new policy can be used to create
changes in behaviour.
4. Other questions to ask could be:
a. How can we improve urban mobility without investing in new infrastructure?
b. Do journeys actually need to be made in the first place, c.f. webinars? What do travellers
actually want to do; why are they making the journey in the first place? It is not necessarily
about where they are going, but why they are going.
c. Can we transform the desire for mobility into something else?
d. How can you get freight delivered to households without using existing methods?
Solutions (top three in bold):
1. Give travellers a challenge to change – gamification, e.g. competition to do lowest emissions
journey.
2. Changing policy in major cities for night time freight delivery in silent, CO2 free vehicles.
3. Socialising freight movement by using people already making journeys.
4. Enabling microfreight depots, c.f. TfL ticket offices becoming mini-freight depots (solution to last
mile problem as users order on line and pick up their parcels on the way home).
5. Enabling micropayments to incentivise volunteers to move transport resources to where the
resources are needed (instead of, for instance, TfL moving hire bikes on lorries around London,
but could also apply to car schemes, etc).
6. System to provide access to basic information on different modes for app developers, etc.,
facilitating provision of information targeted to address individual’s needs (context specific, pushed
information, etc). Already being progressed through TSB’s Internet of Things initiative which is
creating a data hub for travel information apps.

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
GREENER TRANSPORT
Background & Scope:
In order to develop more sustainable transport and urban environments, greener transport solutions are
needed. Transport causes significant air pollution and other impacts such as noise and congestion. Even
when greener modes of transport are developed, it can be challenging to increase take-up to the level
where significant improvements result.
3 innovative ideas to meet the challenge and their barriers:
Idea
1) Driverless autonomous
delivery
2) Non-road based last mile rail, tube or UAV alternatives
3) National cloud based load
and route optimisation

Barriers
Awareness and limited use
Warehouse to warehouse but no home delivery possible
Education
State of maturity
Expensive for passenger cars
Corporate risk and legislation
Infrastructure doesn’t already exist in most cases
Resistance to change from the public
Public concerns on safety and effectiveness
Cyber attack


Really needs to be real-time to maximise the benefits
Complexity of inputs
RoI and payback period – 3PL operations very low margin
Cost prohibitive
Monolithic system or collaboration of smaller systems?
Diverse range of tools
Integration challenges, open standards and protocols
Next Steps: What is now required to overcome these barriers to implementation?
1)
Driverless autonomous delivery
- Research – funding to research and develop solutions
- Legislative development (adaption of Highway Code)
- Driver information systems
- Specific ‘pod’ routes and similar ideas to bus/cycle lanes
2)
Non-road based last mile - rail, tube or UAV alternatives
- Punitive road tax
- Re-open/re-use disused railways and canals
- Free delivery if using alternative methods and free public transport
3)
National cloud based load and route optimisation
- Sentiment mapping (using social media data)
- Apps rather than expensive software packages – low cost, high market penetration
Approach:
- Standard shipping format, common user interface
- ‘Kick-back’ model or financial incentives to encourage use – ‘pay-per-click’ model of income for
each route planned
- Free service on web etc., externally funded

Standardisation of methodologies
Capture economic cost of pollution (link to fuel and car tax)
There are flaws in current standardisation methods.
Speed of technology development is greater than speed of policy development.
Total versus peak emissions – hard to know which to prioritise.
New technologies will require new metrics for management.
Any strategy needs to accommodate a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Intelligent traffic management with air quality feeds.
Hot spot management.
Crowd sourcing of population and transport.
Informed citizens and travel planning.
Improved public awareness.

THE ISSUE Conference 2014
Barriers to AQ solutions
-
-
Siloed budgets
Regulation – not very effective at present, needs to be tax driven?
Regulations need a better evidence base.
Emission drivers – Euro VI not working.
Although AQ needs to be managed, it is not market driven. As there is no economic linkage
between damage from pollution and the cost of vehicles or fuel. Therefore needs market
intervention.
Political agenda (seen as a low priority).
Deregulation and privatisation of public transport – losing some control over operators and
therefore major fleets.
Cost of new technology (although this is not seen as prohibitive).
Evidence base not established.
Current cost of air quality
Health cost of air quality
Effectiveness of different solutions
Modelling and measurement of impacts.
Public support not structured.
Substantial cost of current infrastructure.
Substantial cost of any infrastructure change.
The identified plan towards a solution from this breakout group was as follows:
1. Improve the evidence base, in particular the health impacts, the linkages of pollution and health,
and the effectiveness of different interventions.
2. Increase public support through outreach, education, and awareness raising activities.
3. Increase the position of air quality within the political agenda to enable regulatory steps to be
taken, and budgets to be increased.
Provide a regulatory environment which links the impacts of pollution to the causes of it, and produces a
tax revenue from polluters which can be used on management and mitigation strategies.
