MVA Consultancy, with partners Birmingham City Council,
Leicester City Council, Peek and Viggen examined input and output
data requirements
for the DETR's Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) initiative.
The six month study determined the fundamental requirements of UTMC
to establish whether they will fit within new
standards.
The £5m UTMC Research Programme was created
as a response to local authorities' increasing requirements for
cost-effective
methods of managing transport in urban areas in order to give priority
to public transport, reduce the impact of traffic on air quality,
improve safety and manage congestion. We with our partners assembled
and reviewed current research into driver and traveller information
requirements, and into the way information influences behaviour,
drawing on examples from the UK, the US and Japan. The project also
drew on our considerable experience with data dictionaries, such
as DATEX.
