Ideas in Transit

From IdeasInTransit

The Ideas in Transit Innovation portal gives details of many of the best user-led innovations coming to the transport sector; with over 200 innovations from more than 20 countries. All of them use powerful accessible information processing and communication tools and are likely to affect how we travel and how we understand space in the future and will be useful to policy makes, innovators and academics alike.

Ideas in Transit, is a unique five-year collaboration between Government, Commercial and Academic partners and will influence intelligent transport decisions at policy, social, personal and commercial levels. To stay up to date subscribe to our Blog and check the Events page.
