1. The Future of Mobility

The future of ubiquitous, interconnected modes of transport depends on

interoperability of data across and between the transport modes and their operators

and users.

This interoperability depends as much on the policies and practices of the actors in

FoM as the technology

There are many actors. This creates fragmentation and barriers to data exchange

which may block the FoM development

2. User Story

“As a family of two adults and two children I want to travel from my house in Leeds

to the Jorvik Centre in York”

o 1. I am offered a variety of journey options for a single price

o 2. I can choose based on price, journey time, transport mode, convenience

etc

o 3. The price could include non-transport extras such as entrance to the

attraction or accommodation

3. Use Case to Support User Story

In Scope Out of Scope Data structures and encodings Data security Data transfer and communications Data privacy Organisational policies and regulation Electrification Whole data lifecycle for creation to

deletion Digital inclusion

Data discovery and re-use CAV operations Forecasting and simulations Emissions and environment Data quality and assurance

4. Standards Searches (by ICS Code)


9 | P a g e

5. Executive Summary of Findings

Data interoperability in the context of future of mobility is not limited by the

availability of technical data standards

o Standards to describe and develop data catalogues, data structures and API’s

are published widely

o There are specific instances and examples for transport data

o There is however a lack of awareness of these standards and how to

implement them

Data interoperability in the context of future of mobility is primarily limited by the

lack of usable datasets

o This is due to a number of reasons: ‘no data’, ‘data exists but not published’,

‘data published but not discovered’.

o As this is an emerging market the business drivers are not prioritising data

publication for consumption in the future of mobility market place

The immaturity of the market has had a knock-on effect for data interoperability

o As the market is still emerging there is a general lack of ‘business best

practice’

o Key to this is responsibilities and liabilities across the supply chain

o This includes what types of data are needed, the investment required to

assure its quality

6. BSI Recommendations Summary – (Pending Official DfT Endorsement)


10 | P a g e

7. Future of Mobility Framework (R#1)

A code of practice

o Creating the right environment for business operation and investment

o Clarity on responsibilities and compliance

o Ensuring customer expectations are met

8. Concept for Data Exchange Ontology (R#2)

9. Why a Data Advisory Panel? (R#3)

Transport data should be considered an infrastructure as much as physical assets

such as roads. The roads re there for all to use on an equal basis, with common

norms (standards) for their safe and efficient use


11 | P a g e

If we rely on the commons to contribute their data in an uncoordinated way, you will

get an infrastructure of sorts. But it will be rough, even if low cost

If we coordinate the data needed, you get better infrastructure and more use and

more users

But, there is a cost to maintaining and repairing the infrastructure. But we have a

model (with roads – also Telecoms) where public and private come together to

ensure this works.

2. Transport Data Discovery

The North Highland Report commissioned by DfT in 2018, explored the transport

data held by Local Authorities. Its key findings relating to TROs were that:

o TRO data is difficult and time consuming to access, clean and process

o TRO data is not in a standardised, machine readable format

o TROs lack of centralised point of reference

o Private sector organisations are being forced to collected TRO data manually

o The current process for amending and implementing a TRO to be labour

intensive, time and consuming and costly

The report recommended that the DfT sponsor data projects which encourage and

foster better local authority transport services, including streamlining and digitising

Traffic Regulation Orders

That report is in part the context for this current report, presented by GeoPlace to

the Department for Transport

3. TRO Landscape

Over 400 authorities across Great Britain manage traffic in their areas, inform the

public of changes to the road network, give them a democratic opportunity to be

consulted about changes, and publish information about changes to the road

A complex task


13 | P a g e

o Creation of an estimated 14,300 permanent Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs)

annually at a projected cost of £62.7m

Authorities also create Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTROs) to facilitate

roadworks and streetworks undertaken by authorities and utilities to maintain vital

infrastructure and provide us with services we all need, and for events

o The number of TTROs created by authorities is estimated at 39,000 at a

projected cost to industry of £63.7m

o Almost 90% of TTROs are attributed to streetworks

4. The TRO Discovery Collaboration

5. Draft Data Model / APDS

3 distinct concepts that the TRO data model needs to support

These tie into the data needs supporting use cases that emerge from the user

research

Concept Theme TRO Data Model

Definition of the legal order Details of the time validity, making, location and conditions of the legal order

Physical implementation Details of the lines and signs

Traffic impact The effect on traffic with time validity, location, effect, conditions


14 | P a g e

6. The Research Approach

The TRO Discovery used a number of different research techniques to gather input from key

user groups:

User Interviews

o 1 hour phone calls and face to face interviews with individuals or small

groups

Workshops

o 2 hour workshops with Local Authorities, utilities and map makers

Conference & Events

o LGA Connected vehicles

o Move 2019

o TDI #9

o Transport & Technology Forum

o Traffex & Parkex 2019

o TN-ITS Steering Group

Surveys

o Initial Consultation

o Digital Maturity

o TRO and TTRO costs

o Data Needs

o Transport Focus- Transport User Panel

10. Summary of Recommendations

Data

o Explore the technical and legislative mechanisms by which TRO data can be

provided in a consistent format that can be processed digitally

o Explore whether TTRO application data should be made available to utilities

and local authorities to allow them to coordinate early with the work of other

parties

o Explore the mechanism(s) to provide early sight of TRO and TTRO data to

mapmakers

o Assess the need for, value of, and practicalities of delivering restriction

data that is not subject to a TRO

o Explore how data from different processes (such as streetworks permitting

and TTRO application) can be combined to provide more

granular information

o Explore the implications for all parties where the TRO does not match real

world signs and lines

o Examine the quality of TRO and TTRO data required by users for the present

and the future

o Continue to explore the levels of digital maturity within authorities. Identify

the impact on users of various levels of digital maturity and the challenges

associated with increasing digital maturity

o Explore how TRO data can be made open where appropriate

Legislation

o Review the need for the Secretary of State to approve certain TROs to

identify the appropriate scope of this power


17 | P a g e

o Review legislation to ensure that the representation of information by Local

Authorities effectively informs people affected by the order

o Review the legislative requirement to advertise in a newspaper

o Review legislation to ensure an appropriate level of consultation for TROs

and TTROs

o Review and determine if legislation for making changes to the road network

can be simplified

Future of Mobility

o Explore whether Dynamic TROs are practicable under the current legislative

system

o Explore ways to demonstrate the value of TRO data to the CAV sector

o Continue engagement to ensure that TRO data meets the needs of the CAV

sector

Consistency

o The British Parking Association (BPA) should release and promote their

guidance document

o Follow up on North Highland recommendations around deceasing costs and

increasing accessibility of TRO’s for all users

o Explore how transparency of TTRO costs can be provided to all applicants

11. Summary of Next Step Activities

The following activities directly address the needs and recommendations identified in

dialogue with 92 organisations over the course of the TRO discovery

1. Initiate pilot activities to assess how the draft Data Model for Traffic Regulation

Order information and data meets user needs

2. Undertake a review of existing legislation to ensure it is fit for purpose, and identify

proposals for future improvements

3. Conduct further research to establish what additional network change data is

required to meet user needs, and consider how it could be made available

4. Conduct further research to establish how current processes associated with TROs

and TTROs can be refined to meet user needs

5. The British Parking Association should release and promote their guidance document

12. TRO Policy Alpha

What is a Policy Alpha?

o Alpha is the chance to try out different solutions to the problems we have

found out about


18 | P a g e

o Every idea we present will not necessarily come into force, but each is worth

exploring

What will we be doing?

o Developing a set of initial options based on:

User Needs

Current Frustrations

Societal Changes

Technological Changes

o Testing Initial options via phone interviews, skype interviews and workshops

with people who actually use the process

How can you participate?

o We want to hear from people with real-life expertise of making TROs and

using TRO data

o Please contact [email protected] if you would be interested in

participating in an interview or workshop

Data model piloting

o We are now gearing up to piloting the data model later this year

o We are finalising proposals for working with a number of local authorities

who have expressed an interest in digitising their TROs to:

Validate the model

Ensure it is fit for purpose

3. The Problem

Commercial vehicles cause congestion, poor air quality and poor road safety in our

urban centres

Kerb space is limited which leads to double parking and circling traffic while vehicles

looking to load and unload

Illegal parking leads to fines and safety concerns from pedestrians and cyclists

These concerns are replicated in every city around the world over

9,000 deaths

o In London per annum attributed to poor air quality, with 45,000 deaths per

year across the UK (Kings College, 2015).

227 hours

o Driving time spent per driver in congestion each year in London (INRIX, 2018)

12.5%

o Of London’s area have air pollution levels above the EU legal limit. (NO2

annual mean, 2010)

4. What is Kerb?

Kerb is a real-time, dynamic, intelligent kerbside management solution for cities

o It is ready for market, with global potential

Kerb is an app that gives commercial vehicles the ability to book a Virtual Loading

Bay (VLB) on previously restricted kerb space in the city

Kerb also extends loading times in areas where loading is allowed but time limited

using a Virtual Loading Extension (VLE)

5. Construction Freight Traffic Control

The Construction Freight Traffic Control project aims to specialise the Kerb platform

for the construction sector

Virtual Holding Bays offer the ability for vehicle flow to be optimised, with the bays

pre-agreed between landowners and local authorities, and booked as required or in

advance

6. Benefits of Kerb

Manages kerb-space in busy inner cities removing the risk of penalties for illegal

parking

Saves money for Operators by reducing time and mileage spent searching for

available space, whilst allowing the monetisation of the Borough’s kerb-space

Uses kerb-space on routes that traditionally prohibit loading and unloading – allow

deliveries at difficult locations

Reduces emissions and highway impact of HGVs and encourages more parking

compliance

Enables real time management of commercial vehicle fleets speeding up the delivery

process

Allows all retailers and businesses to schedule their loading and delivery workload

Integrates with Fleet Systems and Parking Enforcement Systems to manage effective

booking information flow

7. Procurement and Adoption

Some difficulty as an SME looking to be procured by local authority and government

Where is the best place to be procured, are certain frameworks more preferable to

others

Death by pilot versus proof, adoption and scale?

9. Market Size

“There is a company in the UK called Grid Smarter Cities that has developed an app

that tracks curb space and allows for reserved curb space for deliveries in certain

areas at certain times of the day. Does it work? I don’t know but it certainly can

work”.

“Revenue? Don Shoup has posted that if half the ‘free’ on street parking space in

New York City were charged at $5.50 an hour, over $3 BILLION in annual revenue

would be generated”

(‘It’s about the Curb’, www.parkingtoday.com)

3. Envisioning the Future


24 | P a g e

4. By 2030 electrification will dominate in lighter vehicles

5. AV adoption in LCVs will grow, outpacing passenger cars


25 | P a g e

6. In the complex ecosystem, partnerships will be key

7. Workshop Session – Feedback from Groups on the following questions


26 | P a g e

What should be the vision for last mile delivery? What challenges do we have to address

beyond the ones discussed? How should these be prioritised? – GROUP 1

2020 Challenges

o How much empty space is there in vans?

o How much duplication

o Enforcement of a collaborative approach

o Competition in delivery

o Route rationalisation / optimisation

o Delivery costs do not reflect the price paid for a “prime” membership

2030 Challenges

o Quality of our infrastructure

Can it handle developments such as EV

Roads and electricity grid

o Conflict over space

i.e. dedicated delivery / AV lanes in an already congested space

o Lack of funding for implementation of changes

2040 Challenges

o WHO KNOWS?????

How can we address the congestion issue? – GROUP 2

Culture

o Consumers’ behaviour

o Suppliers behaviour

o CC vs same day delivery

Infrastructure

o More consolidation centres and collection points

o Urban vs suburban areas (differences between the two)

Pre-determined delivery slots (overnight)

o More localised network

o Potential for mini warehouses?

Business Model

o Free click and collect

o Some deliveries to have slot pricing, the sooner the delivery the more

expensive

Challenges with click and collect

o Large packages

Technology

o “Uberisation”

o Mobile consolidation fleets


27 | P a g e

How can we address the congestion issue? – GROUP 3

Tech perspective

o Hardware

o Software

o Data Solutions – developed or prioritised

Business perspective

o Business models to help reduce congestion

o Hubs supported by policy

o “gig” economy

o Combine businesses i.e. Royal Mail

Policy perspective

o What does the government need to do or address?

o Incentives for customers

o Collaborative approach e.g. consolidation centre + business model

o Controlled zoning in city areas

How can we reduce carbon emissions from LMD? – GROUP 4

Identifying the causes of carbon – measure locally, what is impacting this the most?

Do we want to reduce total miles travelled?

Encourage people to buy less?

Addressing

Freight optimisation – off-peak deliveries

Encourage active travel deliveries – walking, cycling etc.

Offsetting emissions – planting trees for the number of deliveries made

Coordination – leveraging Digital Freight Brokerage

o More likely

o More partnership deliveries

Role of big business – set an example

o E.g. Amazon £1 credit for most sustainable route (i.e. 2 days later)

o Will the Greta effect take off?

Air Quality

o Planting trees

o Ultra-low emission zones

Differences between Urban and Rural

EV Charging Infrastructure / Regulation

How can we reduce carbon emissions from LMD? – GROUP 5

Reducing number of trips

o Consolidation centre


28 | P a g e

Delivery vehicles go to central hub in town and stack deliveries from

various companies to deliver to customers

o Use car park level for deliveries to off load and use smaller vehicles / cycles

for deliveries

o Price last mile by auction

o NEED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE SOFTWARE

Policy issues

o Vehicle routing grazing across network and use of kerb space

o Stagger policy introduction to match technology

o Policy needs to fit technology

o All home deliveries by electric vehicles.

Local authorities could mandate?

o Admission zone charges

o Feedback data, e.g. air quality monitoring outside school. Tell children in

school because 5 came in individual cars.

How can we keep up with ever-evolving consumer demands? – GROUP 6

On one hand we want to reduce or impact on environment

But we have the option to choose faster delivery, not cheaper

Policy wise, politicians respond to consumer demand

What does the government want to achieve?

Is this actually real?

o Where does this come from

o Big assumption not being clearly evidenced (debatable (Tom))

Reinvent the high street

o Focus on place, pedestrianisation, local markets etc.

Re-balance some models

o Use waterways

o Some can be congested (narrow boats etc.)

o Can be good for non-time critical deliveries and to reduce carbon.

Tensions when “pandering” to consumer needs

How can we keep up with ever-evolving consumer demands? – GROUP 7

Trend Analysis:

o 24 hour delivery

o Last mile = 50 miles (regional hub)

o Keep up with demands and fashion

o More pick up points

o Shared loads – take recycling back?
