Intelligent Mobility: A Commercial Reality

Friday 11th November 2011, The National Space Centre, Leicester

There are significant pressures on the transport sector to reduce congestion, increase capacity, reduce environmental impact and increase convenience. The effective development and deployment of intelligent mobility (IM) systems has the potential to bring significant societal and business benefit. This day will bring people together to discuss the opportunities and to identify ways forward to ensure that the UK maximises that potential and makes intelligent mobility a commercial reality.

The event programme will include informative keynote speakers, networking and workshops focused on emerging technologies and the projects being undertaken by participating universities. The key purpose of the event is to create a unifying list of issues and opportunities and explore mechanisms required to support the progression of IM in the UK.

This free event is the perfect opportunity for you to discover ways of enhancing your business, meet key people, network and discuss individual issues.
