UL's Interoperable Account-Based Travelling Workshop
2015-01-29 10:30 - 12:00
London, United Kingdom
Account-based travelling combines two important concepts and creates a compelling offer to the mobility needs of citizens in the 21st century:
The use of various token based ticketing implementationsIntegrated with journey planning, real time passenger information and in-journey information
The real challenge is to implement account-based travelling across the regional or national borders and across different types (mobility and other) of schemes.
During this workshop UL will present its vision on next generation ticketing. Together with our strategic partner Open Ticketing Institute we will share and discuss with you the concepts we are developing in the ETC partnership. Topics discussed are governance, privacy, partnerships, technologies, transaction security, interfaces and use cases. During two interactive national group discussions we will identify with you how such concepts can be implemented in your local, regional or national context. At the end of the workshop you will have awareness about what account-based travelling could mean for you.

Australia’s ‘National Road Safety Strategy 2011-2020’ is closely aligned with the Global Plan for the Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011-20 proclaimed by the United Nations in 2010 with the goal of stabilising and reducing the forecast level of road traffic fatalities around the world by 2020. Australia’s strategy presents a 10-year plan to reduce the annual number of both deaths and serious injuries on Australian roads by at least 30 per cent, with initiatives focussing on the four key areas of – safe roads, safe speeds, safe vehicles and safe people.
Join us at this Business Networking Event as panellists will examine what is being done to help achieve this road safety target; what has been achieved to date; which initiatives have been successful and what work still needs to be done to help make our roads safer.

Opening Symposium Automotive Week
2015-03-25 09:00 - 11:00
Are you dealing with smart mobility developments as a professional, employer or road user? Then Connecting Mobility and DITCM Innovations would like to invite you to the opening symposium on Wednesday, March 25th, 2015. In the Netherlands we invested these last years in pilots and innovations in smart mobility. In cooperation with government, market parties and knowledge institutes we paved the way for the future of mobility, in which we can use a broad spectrum of developments, knowledge and experience. We want to make a step forward: from research and testing, now to start doing! And we are going to involve the roaduser even more.
In the symposium, held in Helmond (The Netherlands), three speakers (Justus Verkerk, FCCE, Marianne Dwarshuis, ANWB and Vincent Everts) will inspire the participants to think different. And together with the moderator, Maarten Bouwhuis (Business News Radio BNR) we would like to seduce them considering new roads en make a next step with innovations. We want to raise the point of the dynamics that smart mobility developments bring about: working together, co-creation, crowdsourcing. In short, bundeling skills and know-how to keep innovating. And share experiences in order to claim a position as frontrunner in smart mobility for The Netherlands. Our ambition is that participants are challenged to be frontrunners themselves.

Social Media and Transport Seminar
2015-03-25 12:15 - 16:00
Organised by: Transport Systems Catapult
Adress: Ground Floor, The Pinnacle, 170 Midsummer Boulevard, Central Milton Keynes, MK9 1BP
Programme
Social Networking is an important feature of many people’s lives, both personally and professionally.
It is also having an impact on transport. People may learn about a road traffic accident through Twitter before they hear about it from their traffic information service. Car-sharing is more acceptable with “Facebook Friends” than it is with strangers.
The seminar will address “Social Media in Transport”, including its use for the National Roads Authority in Dublin, and how technology & gamification can be used to encourage travel behaviour change. (According to Wikipedia “gamification” is the use of game thinking and game mechanics in non-game contexts to engage users in solving problems and increase users’ self-contributions)
Seminar Chair – Dr John Walker, TRG, Southampton University
1. Welcome & Introduction by: Dr John Walker
2. How ‘Gamification’ Delivered through Technology can create Longterm Modal Shift – Crispin Moller, Yomp

Improving Cycling Safety using ITS
2015-03-26 08:00 - 13:30
The VRUITS project, which is sponsored by the European Commission (DG MOVE), aims at providing recommendations regarding ITS applications for the improvement of the safety and mobility for Vulnerable Road Users. VRUITS assesses the societal impact of selected ITS applications and demonstrates the use of innovative ITS applications for VRUs.
In Helmond, the VRUITS project will demonstrate how vehicles and cyclists can communicate with each other. For example, vehicle drivers can receive warnings of possible collisions with cyclists and the vehicle brakes automatically to avoid the collision or cyclists are personally warned for collisions.
In the seminar the VRUITS partners will discuss how ITS can be used to improve cycling safety. The use of Cooperative ITS for cyclists will receive specific stress. At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to visit the VRUITS Helmond test site.
