>Theme
>
>We have all suffered at one time or another from congestion.  Whether 
>sitting in a car stuck in dense traffic, waiting outside Birmingham New 
>Street station as our train queues up for a platform, or circling London 5 
>times as we await a path into Heathrow Airport - we all get annoyed and 
>inconvenienced.  Often we wonder why 'they' don't do something to improve 
>matters: provide more capacity, manage the assets better, or simply give 
>us better information in advance so that we can try to plan our trips to 
>avoid expected trouble-spots.
>
>
>
>For the 2007 Scheidt & Bachmann University Challenge we invite essays and 
>complementary presentations on one of two topics linked to the above theme
>
>
>
>1 'Give more to get more yet stay private'  Network managers argue that 
>two things would enable them to deliver more productivity for everyone and 
>fewer breakdowns of service: if individual travellers were prepared to 
>give advance details of their trip origin and destination and if they had 
>fast electronic ways to monitor the movements of individual vehicles on 
>the networks.
>
>
>
>Both are possible but how can the traveller be convinced that this is not 
>part of some huge 'Big Brother Spy in the Sky' plot to watch what we all 
>do?  Is it ever going to be possible to get and use the movement 
>information in ways that preserve either the anonymity of the traveller or 
>his/her privacy - or both?
>
>
>
>2 'Twenty-first Century Information'  Have a look at some of the devices 
>you use everyday and think how they have changed in the last 5-10 
>years.  Your domestic TV has a much larger and sharper picture yet is a 
>quarter the weight of early models.  Your car has many anti-collision 
>features and, should the worst happen, a number of air bags to protect 
>you.  It has fifty times the computing power of the first lunar landing 
>module and delivers twice the fuel economy of its predecessors.  Your 
>camera no longer uses film that makes you wait 3 days to see how well you 
>have taken a picture and your mobile phone weighs a fraction of the model 
>you had 10 years ago and also plays music, is a watch and stopwatch, can 
>be your calendar and takes pictures and movies you can send to friends.
>
>
>
>And how has the supply of traveller information changed in 10 
>years?  Hardly at all.  We manage traffic with coloured signal lights, we 
>have web-based enquiry sites that we can use before we go but they don't 
>update us regarding real conditions.  We supply roadside information with 
>arrays of lights spelling out messages that are often hours out of 
>date.  So how might we deliver a modern personal 'thinking' traveller 
>support service?
