Intelligent Transport


The transport sector in the UK faces many conflicting requirements. Existing infrastructure needs to be managed to get maximum usage out of every kilometre. There's ever-growing pressure to lower costs, improve the efficient use of capital and drive for higher levels of service quality.

Then there are the social aspects of accessibility, environmental impact, improving safety and provision of alternative transport options. Add to this the business needs of the 21st century, logistics, fuel economy, effective journey planning, just-in-time manufacturing and delivery, not to mention Corporate Social Responsibility, advanced technology and alternative energy sources.
