SDC LAUNCHES SMARTER MOVES REPORT
The Sustainable Development Commission report, How Information Communications Technology can promote Sustainable Mobility, shows how ICT can make personal mobility more sustainable, reduce CO2 emissions, congestion and noise, as well as improve air quality, health, wellbeing and social cohesion through:
- Reducing the need to travel and enabling home working
- Making public transport easier to use and improving the journey experience
- Facilitating car sharing; car clubs; and helping people to drive more efficiently
- Ensuring adherence to speed limits - particularly through the use of intelligent speed adaptation
- Improving transport network efficiency and delivering road pricing.
SDC also recommends the creation of a UK network of high quality video conferencing facilities and encourage government departments, agencies and the public sector to stimulate these new markets through leading by example.
