The Government Office for Science has launched a project to
explore the opportunities and implications arising from the
future transport system in the UK.
Technological developments and disruptive business models will
have a significant impact on how people and goods move around
the UK over the coming decades. The Government Office for
Science’s new Foresight project will investigate how these
issues will affect the transport of people and goods up to
2040.
Commenting on the project, Sir Mark Walport, Government
Chief Scientific Adviser, said:
Understanding what the future of transport could hold
is important for society and government.
Policy makers need to think about the longer term
future of transport in order to make informed decisions
today to shape the way people and goods move in the
future.
The Foresight Future of Mobility project will help
policy makers to think about the future of transport by
providing the latest scientific evidence and tools.
The project is developing evidence in the following
areas:
- the interaction between people, technology and data
- new transport business models
- alternate transport futures
These areas will develop over the course of the project.
