[sustran] IIID Traffic & Transport 2011 - Call for Speakers

[eric britton]

The information interface linking users to mobility purveyors of the full
range of options available in any given city holds the key to the future of
sustainable transport in and around our cities.  It is, as we all know here,
not new motorway construction or expansion, nor heavy rail, and certainly
not EVs, or PRT, etc. etc.

 

In my humble opinion (?), this is the most important single technology area
for the public sector to step up to the plate and get behind innovation,
demonstrations, and collaborative learning that is before policy makers
today.

 

How can we get policy makers in both international organizations and at the
national level to understand this and do what they can to get behind this
important area of social-technical innovation?  For now, they hold the key.

 

Of course there will be innovations at the level of specific projects,
specific city implementations and other sources of innovation. But it would
be a wonderful thing if we had a clearer public policy perspective on all
this.

 

So here you have the full details on their conference and if you will, pass
it on.

 

All the best/Eric Britton

IIID Expert Forum - Call for Speakers

  _____  


Dear Eric Britton

The International Institute for Information Design (IIID) in Vienna
continues its highly successful Expert Forum Traffic & Transport Information
Systems into the 6th year. Unsurpassed in its field, this year's event is
focused on Traffic, Transport and Social Media. Social media facilitates the
generation and communication of ideas and information in a much more
convenient manner than traditional platforms, and makes market research
obsolete by providing public opinion at little or no cost. 

The Expert Forum will focus on the impacts of social media, how to design
services, adjust policies, and communicate improvements as well as
evaluating user/customer reactions.

In addition to the main conference, Innovations in traffic & transport
information is a special session focused on innovative projects and results
beyond real time information. The session is geared to the interests of
information managers, designers and educators whose professional focus is on
traffic and transport information.

If your interest and expertise relates to the topic for 2011, we encourage
you to submit a proposal (submission deadline: 8 April 2011). More
information about the event and details about the Call for Speakers can be
found at www.iiid-expertforum.net.

We look forward to receiving your submission and if you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kind Regards,

Alena Morrison
