9. New & Old
• New: Offering a unique opportunity to implement the ITS future
model of - ‘Seamless Travel’
• Old: Many barriers & challenges
o current infrastructure,
o migration from legacy systems,
o take up of new systems & processes by transport system managers &
operators.

10. Seamless Travel!
Commercially viable vision or just a dream?

11. Multidisciplinary Research
• The road to Truly Intelligent Mobility (the wider look of mobility in
relation to ITS) starts by understanding the relationship between
different factors affecting the transport networks ( efficiency,
reliability & user acceptance & preference)
• Transport Systems should not be optimised in isolation of each other or
of the dynamic environment – System of systems approach.
• Understanding the problem environment is essential for making the
right decision and following the right vision.

13. Truly Intelligent Systems – How To?
Aim to Change Behaviour (or the way of thinking) not only of end users but all
stakeholders by:
• Reduce the need for Mobility
• Cost Saving by Harmonised Deployment
Future Vision > Strategy > Polices & Guidelines > Planning > Design >Deployment >
Monitoring > On-Going Evaluation
• Identifying & Clarifying Benefits to Users (travellers & operators..)
• Intelligent Mobility Infrastructure (funding)
• Knowledge Transfer for example by
o Adequate training for systems operators ….
o Bridging The Gap between Research, Business and Industrial worlds
