Topic: Sustainable Urban Mobility - The Role of Automated Transport Systems (ATS)

Abstract: The presentation will present results from the EU-funded CityMobil project. The objectives of CityMobile project is to achieve a more effective organisation of urban transport, resulting in a more rational use of motorised traffic with less congestion and pollution, safer driving, a higher quality of living and an enhanced integration with spatial development. This objective is brought closer by developing integrated traffic solutions: advanced concepts for innovative autonomous and automated road vehicles for passengers and goods, embedded in an advanced spatial setting.

Research Interests

Tom Vöge has been working at TRG since 2001. He has been involved with the EU-funded projects CyberCars, CyberMove, and CityMOBIL investigating innovative transport systems (ranging from driver assistance systems to fully automated vehicles) for sustainable urban mobility. Research and coordination of contributions from project partners for the user needs analysis, impact assessment and project and system evaluation. More recent work included TfL-funded projects on safety and security in future transport and on compliance cost for the London congestion charging scheme.
