James West and Gavin Jackman, Padam

​

The HertsLynx CAM On-Demand project analysed the potential for autonomous buses to deliver on-demand services to Maylands Business Park in Hertfordshire,  synthesising transport demand data and CAV-appropriate routing to connect two stations which are otherwise poorly connected with the business park.  
This presentation will explore routes that are now viable for current and near term ready AVs, how demand for these routes can be projected and the optimal fleet and timetable combination of on-demand and fixed line buses to be viable. It will also explore the Sustainicity open access toolkit for calculating ROI for automated bus services.

This talk will look at the future of citizen engagement and provide an overview of the user-centric tools that have emerged in the past few years, and how these are being applied to world of active travel in particular. The talk will run through tools like Hello Lamp Post, Beta Streets, Dembrane and Digital Urban, and speak to how these are enhancing an organisation's ability to reach a diverse range of the citizenry, in the pursuit of dialogue, rather than conflict. These tools are being pioneered successfully by the local authorities such as Newham Council

In 2023 Highways England identified a need to improve its street lighting inventory.  Highways England engaged with WSP as their street lighting consultants. WSP linked with Univrses, a Swedish computer vision and AI company and together the three parties have facilitated and developed a unique solution

 Currently, traffic modelling is a lengthy process that requires significant human intervention to build complex models. Using case studies, this talk will explore automating many of these challenges using AI. It will look at the challenges in sourcing appropriate models and data; the wide range of potential machine learning and optimisation algorithms and explain how actionable insights and tools can be delivered from the application of AI.
