Elite Innovation Centre, the Transport Systems Catapult, has identified key areas of development in the Transport Network, in the UK’s largest ever traveller experience study ‘Traveller Needs’.
75% of journeys are characterised by pain-points according to an extensive research conducted by the Transport System’s Catapult with 57% of travellers always looking for ways to optimise their journeys. Multi-modal journeys are especially painful for UK travellers and each interchange increases the number of pain-points experienced.
The research conducted in the unprecedented study comprised of 10,000 online questionnaire respondents, 50 company interviews, and 100 expert interviews.
Development areas for Intelligent Mobility
- Access – Multi-purposed assets, cross modal traveler ‘passports’, integrated payments.
- Automation – Vehicle sharing schemes, self-driving vehicle swarms, productive time on journeys, zero emission power trains
- Demand and Supply – centralized control, parking problems solved, road traffic flow optimization, demand curve ‘flattening’ and geo/time shifting demand
- Integration – Seamless Interchange, personal-pushed information, dynamic timetabling
