Pandemic travel behaviour: designing future mobility solutions that are COVID secure

One of the immediate impacts of COVID-19 on urban centres has been the significant change in public transport usership as citizens have moved away from public transport into cars, onto bicycles or towards walking as a method of getting from A to B. Whilst some of these shifts may at first appear temporary there is a risk that some of the more negative modal shifts (e.g. into private cars) could linger. A negative shift in public transport attitudes and behaviours of this type could be hugely disruptive to city leaders already struggling to both meet stretching greenhouse gas emissions targets, and improve the experience of citizens who are using city roads.

Introducing Project D-RISK

At the end of last year we began work on an exciting new project, building on our smart mobility expertise: D-RISK.  So today, we thought we would share some details about the project: why it’s important and what we will be bringing to the table.

Project Endeavour: What Happens Next?

Project Endeavour: What Happens Next?

Back in September, the DG Cities team was buzzing around the CENEX CAM event. Between presenting on panels and showcasing our projects, we certainly kept ourselves busy. We were especially excited to launch Project Endeavour at the event alongside our consortium partners Nominet, Oxbotica and Immense Simulations.

This week, our partners have been sharing some insights into the project at the Telegraph Smart Mobility Summit (where our MD, Trevor, also took part in the keynote panel on the importance of collaboration).

We’ve had a fantastic response since the launch and so now seems like the perfect opportunity to share a little more about the role of DG Cities in this exciting project.
