OUR TRANSPORT SYSTEM WILL PROGRESSIVELY TRANSITION

FROM SMART TO INTELLIGENT – CONSTANTLY SELF-ADJUSTING TO DELIVER THE BEST OUTCOMES

We’ve already embraced data and intelligence in our day-to-day lives…

In the future our personal virtual butler will know exactly what transport options we want, without having to be asked

In fact, our virtual butler will tell us what to do – the transport mode, route or time to travel

best suited to our own AND society’s needs

BUT LIMITED INFORMATION MEANS TRADEOFFS, AND SOMETIMES, UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES

Today data helps us

PRIORITISE transport investment and improvements

In the future, the government’s role will be better supported by

technology that measures, models and moderates the impact of everything, from law changes,

to when to resurface the Auckland Harbour Bridge
