one. TRANSPORT Project and Partners • £ 3. 4 m Innovate UK part funded project • In-field Trials Nov 2015 (24 months)

In-field Trial Aims § Assess the platform ability to: Ø integrate data from different sources and disparate traffic systems Ø support for legacy systems and multi-vendor sensors Ø support applications spanning across geographic boundaries § Demonstrate benefits in reducing the impact of: Ø major events Ø economic growth Ø traffic accidents/incidents § Creating and community and ecosystem

Creating a Community (and ecosystem) § Vision & Goals Ø Establish a Local Authority led working group & community Ø Work together to establish best practices Ø Feedback to the community, providing support and best practice Ø Promote open data, collaborative working and solutions. § Aim to achieve: Ø reduced costs Ø better transport services Ø knowledge sharing

Silverstone Race Circuit § >100 k people GP weekend § Disruption to local and through traffic § Events user experience § Affect Local and National networks § Limited traffic visibility around the area § Traffic Manager Tool

Watford Match Day Use Case § Regular matches during season § Average 21 k attendance § Disruption to local traffic § Car dominant mode for attendees § Strong transport links (modal shift)

Watford Match Day Use Case

Oxford Park & Ride Use Case § 5 P&R around Oxford § Good bus links to city centre § Live and predicted traffic / parking occupancy § Use P&R and then Bus OR drive all the way and park in the city centre?
