L'information « vit » bien plus aujourd'hui. Elle n'est plus cantonnée à une seule personne, un seul département, ni même à l'entreprise. L'information est mobile et circule à l'intérieur et en dehors de l'organisation. De plus, elle évolue au fur et à mesure que les différentes parties prenantes fournissent leurs contributions. Un changement d'environnement qui génère de nouveaux défis pour les cabinets d'avocats.
Aujourd’hui, notamment dans le secteur juridique où l’information est une clé de la valeur ajoutée, il est possible de réduire les coûts, d’accroitre la productivité et d'être plus efficace au quotidien.
De nouvelles technologies existent, simples, peu coûteuses, qui évitent la refonte radicale de l'infrastructure en place. Par exemple, les MFD peuvent maintenant être intégrés dans ces environnements ouverts, les plateformes de partage de fichiers sont monnaies courantes.

As part of the Institute’s Research Seminar Series, on June 10th Bryan Matthews talked about mobility strategies for visually impaired people, covering topics like wayfinding, mental mapping, and the potential inclusiveness of the built environment and new technological devices. The thought-provoking session culminated in a collective walk down University Road, where half of the participants wore ‘simulation spectacles’ to momentarily impair their own vision and paired up with the other half, who served as guides: as well as representing a unique convivial moment, the walk offered participants the possibility to become familiar with a similar mobility experience to that of visually impaired people, including the negotiation of narrow pavements, kerbs and stairs, zebra and pelican crossings. The walk was followed by a thriving Q&A session back at the Institute, and some of the participants recorded their impression in writing after the session, offering a number of interesting points which could perhaps be used for future research on the subject.

Abstract: despite rising levels of urban mobility, access to places, activities and services has become increasingly difficult, particularly for the marginalised urban poor who face long distances or unaffordable travel costs in order to reach places of employment, education or leisure. In cities where access to private travel is uncommon, mass transport systems are essential elements allowing citizens to participate in everyday activities. Following successes in Curitiba and Bogota, mass transit systems such as bus rapid transit have been implemented in many Latin American cities (Medellin, Buenos Aires, Lima), while others are implementing metro systems (Quito, Panama City, Guadalajara, Santiago de Chile). Many such systems are unevenly distributed throughout the city however, with poorer neighbourhoods often poorly connected to the city centre where the majority of jobs and opportunities are located.
In tandem, many Latin American nations have been debating rights-based approaches to tackling social inequality. Ecuador and Brazil have adopted the Right to the City concept as part of their constitutions and Mexico City is developing a similar city charter. A human rights dimension is relevant to the provision of transport systems recognising that ‘the right to mobility is universal to all human beings, and essential for the effective practical realisation of most other basic human rights’ (CEMR 2007). Despite this link, rights-based approaches to social equity have not been studied in the context of mass transport systems. My research attempts to address to what extent rights-based approaches have been, or can be, integrated into decisions about mass transport investment, through the case study of Quito and plans for a new metro line and connecting metrocable routes. This presentation would present preliminary analysis following fieldwork in early 2015.

A main concern surrounding the use of autonomous vehicles is that it leads to disengaged and unfocused drivers who are unprepared to take control of the vehicle when necessary. Driving simulators can be used to evaluate the resumption of control by drivers in an emergency or in the event of partial failure of the automated system. Driving simulators can also be used to evaluate driver monitoring systems to determine their effectiveness in determining when a driver is disengaged. Finally driving simulators can be used to test and refine the automated control systems. The driving simulator can feed visual data from the simulator as well as simulated radar results into the automated control system for testing of complex situations. Dr. Romano will present various case studies from previous research and discuss how driving simulators are being used to solve these problems.

Mobility & Energy Futures Series: transport consumes a fifth of global energy and has a near-exclusive reliance on petroleum. As such it has an important role to play in the Energy Trilemma of reducing energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emission, creating an energy system built on secure supplies and developing the system in ways which are affordable.
Addressing the Energy Trilemma in the transport and mobility sector is especially challenging due to the continued growth in demand for the movement of goods and people, the technical, regulatory and social challenges of moving away from an oil based system of mobility and a complex and fragmented set of stakeholders required to work together to deliver change.
Drawing on the expertise and opinions of the University of Leeds academics from different disciplines, this series will highlight the drivers, gaps and opportunities in reducing the energy consumption and carbon emissions from the transport sector in future. This is the inaugurating briefing in the series.

The economic and environmental dimensions of transport have been the subject of extensive academic research and have had a strong influence on transport policy and practice around the world. This is in stark contrast to the social dimension, which in general has been less widely researched, less well defined and generally much less influential in policy circles. However, there is now increased recognition by policymakers that new transport infrastructures can potentially have significant social and distributional impacts (SDIs) beyond those that are usually captured by traditional project appraisal methods. Currently, the methods for capturing these SDIs are under explored and the guidance provided through WebTAG analysis is as yet largely untested.
It is in this context that we were asked by Welsh Government to conduct a social and distributional analysis of a new section of the A465, studying the area surrounding the road both during its construction and after. Our talk will outline the integration of desk based quantitative and field work based qualitative methodologies used for the study and the rationale for these, and also present our key findings. We will also outline some of the challenges we faced in undertaking the analysis, and in turn reflect on some of the barriers to embedding effective SDI appraisals into policy practice. We will also reflect on the appropriateness of the WebTAG guidance for practice, and suggest ways in which these could be improved.
We all make choices between alternatives every day in many contexts - not just transport. There is theory to help planners forecast those decisions, but it is generally poorly understood. The aim of this presentation is to be of particular relevance to all PhD students and early career researchers - who should know something about DCM even if not planning to work in that area. No prior knowledge necessary.
Tony Fowkes first joined ITS in September 1976, coming from the University's School of Economic Studies, where he had been lecturing. Initially he worked on Car Ownership Forecasting, before working in a wide variety of areas of Transport Planning. In 1982 he joined the first UK Value of Time study, as well as a parallel project on Business Travel which led to pioneering work on Business Value of Time. On both those projects he helped to develop the new technique of Stated Preference estimation. In 1984 he began 4 years here as British Railways Senior Rail Research Fellow. He then moved to a mix of teaching and research, jointly with LUBS. He has published widely and contributed to many influential reports for government bodies.

Efforts to reduce the emissions from car travel have so far been hampered by a lack of specific information on car ownership and use. The Motoring and vehicle Ownership Trends in the UK (MOT) project seeks to address this by bringing together new sources of data to give a spatially and disaggregated diagnosis of car ownership and use in Great Britain and the associated energy demand and emissions.
Data from annual car M.O.T tests, made available by the Department for Transport, will be used as a platform upon which to develop and undertake a set of inter-linked modelling and analysis tasks using multiple sources of vehicle-specific and area-based data. Through this the project will develop the capability to understand spatial and temporal differences in car ownership and use, the determinants of those differences, and how levels may change over time and in response to various policy measures. The relationship between fuel use and emissions, and the demographic, economic, infrastructural and socio-cultural factors influencing these will also be tested.
Consequently, the MOT project has the potential to transform the way in which energy and emissions related to car use are quantified, understood and monitored to help refine future research and policy agendas and to inform transport and energy infrastructure planning.

Social networks, i.e. the circles of people we are socially connected to, have been recognised to play a role in shaping our travel and activity behaviour. This not only has to do with socialisation being the purpose of travel, but also with enabling mobility and other activities through the so-called social capital. Another theme in the literature connecting social environment and travel behaviour is social influence, i.e. the investigation of how travel behaviour can be affected by observation or comparison with other people. Research about the impact of social influence on travel choices is still at its infancy. In this talk, I will give an overview of how choice modelling can be used to investigate the relationships between social networks, travel and activities. I will touch upon work that I have done so far, in particular I will describe my applications of the Multiple Discrete-Continuous Extreme Value (MDCEV) model to frequency of social interactions as well as to allocation of time to different activities, taking the social dimension into account. In these studies, I make use of social network and travel data collected in places as diverse as Switzerland and Chile. I will also discuss ongoing work making use of longitudinal life-course data to model the impact of family of origin and the “mobility environment” people grew up in on travel decision of adults. Finally, I will outline future plans about modelling behavioural changes due to social influence using the smartphone app travel data that are being collected in Leeds within the “Choices and consumption: modelling long and short term decisions in a changing world” (“DECISIONS”) project.

He is a transport economist with a strong interest in transport policy. He is currently an academic visitor at Leeds University (April 2016-March 2017) working in the area of intermodal transport (with a focus on rail freight transport) and in turn track access charges.
Abstract: In the national railway revolution in Japan, the passenger division was divided into 6 companies by regions. They operate trains and own/manage the rail track (vertical integration system). On the other hand, vertical separation was introduced into freight companies, therefore, freight companies have to access rail track owned/managed by passenger companies. The Japanese regulator regards track access transactions between passenger companies and freight companies as private business.
In the vertical separation system, freight companies cannot get access to the slots required and efficient allocation of rail track cannot be achieved. The vertical separation is a very significant issue in railway policy and freight transport policy in Japan. In the presentation, causes and possible solutions to the issue will be shown.

Presentation from NORTHMOST - a new biannual series of meetings on the topic of mathematical modelling in transport.
Hosted at its.leeds.ac.uk, NORTHMOST 01 focussed on academic research, to encourage networking and collaboration between academics interested in the methodological development of mathematical modelling applied to transport.
The focus of the meetings will alternate; NORTHMOST 02 - planned for Spring 2017 - will be led by practitioners who are modelling experts. Practitioners will give presentations, with academic researchers in the audience. In addition to giving a forum for expert practitioners to meet and share best practice, a key aim of the series is to close the gap between research and practice, establishing a feedback loop to communicate the needs of practitioners to those working in university research.

The focus of the meetings will alternate; NORTHMOST 02 - planned for Spring 2017 - will be led by practitioners who are modelling experts. Practitioners will give presentations, with academic researchers in the audience. In addition to giving a forum for expert practitioners to meet and share best practice, a key aim of the series is to close the gap between research and practice, establishing a feedback loop to communicate the needs of practitioners to those working in university research.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
