The event was made a success thanks to the involvement and enthusiasm of all those that attended. In this post-conference report, you can find details of the outcomes of the breakout sessions so you can remind yourself of the actions to take forward, details of individuals that were interested in collaborating within particular themes and the full delegate list for both days of the conference. We sincerely hope that you found THE ISSUE Conference a valuable event for building your network and developing collaborative partnerships for developing solutions in transport that meet local and European needs. For any further questions or suggestions for future events, please contact THE ISSUE Project Manager for De Montfort University, Clare Edwards, [email protected] or THE ISSUE Project Coordinator Steve Dibnah, [email protected]. 3 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 4 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. Tony Hawks, after dinner speaker 5 THE ISSUE Conference 2014 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. Conference hall, day two 6 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 7 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 8 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. 9 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. 11 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 12 THE ISSUE Conference 2014 AIR QUALITY This breakout group met the challenge in broader terms Emission reduction mechanisms Electric vehicle incentivisation Hybrid vehicles Fuel cells Gas (LNG/CNG) Vehicle sharing and car clubs NOx issues with catalytic systems. Improved parking information Incentivisation schemes o Registration number filtering o Multi-occupancy car prioritisation Modal shift (Cycling/walking/public transport) Demand control Combustion efficiency improvements Retrofitting Identification of primary polluters – Bus and HGV initiatives, old car initiatives? Better understanding of the real-drive cycle of new vehicles; how are they actually used? Measurement Need better understanding of health impact linkages. Need better population location services – understanding where people are relative to pollution. Use of MOT emissions data Improvement in vehicle fleet understanding Management and Exposure reduction 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. 13 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. 14 THE ISSUE Conference 2014 Transport Theme Collaboration Interest The delegates were invited to express interest in collaboration within five key transport themes by sharing their contact information. As per the Breakout Groups, these five themes were: Smart Transport Greener Transport Air Quality Urban Mobility Safety The contact information of interested parties has been grouped in the Appendix of this report.
