Dear all,
On behalf of the Organising Committee, this is a reminder of the call for abstracts for the 4th Smart Urban Policy Futures workshop at Greenwich:
4th SUPF workshop
13th - 14th July 2017
University of Greenwich, London, UK
https://greenwichtransportnetwork.wordpress.com/workshop-2017/
Abstract submission deadline: 5th June 2017
Acceptance notification: 15th June 2017
Key themes:
T1: Wider impacts of Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)
T2: Electric Vehicles (EVs)
T3: Big Data & Urban Supply Chain
U1: Network & socio-cultural impacts of future cities (e.g. accessibility, equity, privacy)
U2: Energy use
U3: Urban infrastructure
Following three successful workshops of this series in the past with participants from all over Europe, this year we focus on the future of cities. While we see ever more automotive manufacturers turning into EVs, governments review their policies to allow AVs to be tested within urban areas, and smart cities continue to drive future agendas globally. At the same time, Big Data start to become the core of practical advancements both in passenger and freight transport.
Yet, there is still limited interaction between the diverse objectives and stakeholders operating within cities. The aim of this workshop is to create a forum for innovative ideas to be presented, so that relevant policies aid in shaping smart sustainable futures. Relevant topics may include evolving business models, Big Data, shared and active transport, the provision of required infrastructure and evaluation of energy demand and supply. The aim is to bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers with an interest in user perspectives and behaviour, including urban accessibility, equity, privacy and other socio-cultural issues, in order to have an interdisciplinary debate on these issues.
