From locating potholes to monitoring air quality, new technologies could revolutionise the UK’s transport system and reduce local authority costs. This guide from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) will help local authorities make use of new technologies, such as big data analytics and cloud computing, to revolutionise their local transport systems while also reducing costs.
Includes case studies on:
• Dublin City Council using smartphones and tablets to better manage traffic technology
• Sunderland City Council working with the Met Office to run a transport and weather information pilot to improve traffic and travel throughout the region
• Hampshire County Council introducing a smarter street lighting system for more than 100,000 lights and signs, which has reduced Hampshire’s Co2 emissions by 4,000 tonnes – the equivalent to the Co2 emitted from 1,600 cars per year
• Milton Keynes City Council replacing its existing diesel buses with a new fleet of electric buses that will run seven days a week from December 2014
