Cambridge is growing fast. The city and surrounding areas have to accommodate the increasing needs of local travel. This event will explore what is technically possible – whether that is ‘last mile delivery’ drones, Mobility As A Service, bikes, autonomous vehicles - or even tunnels!
Key speakers:
Prof Lord Robert Mair: Head of the Geotechnical and Environmental Group, Dept of Engineering: Prof Mair helped to establish the Centre for Geotechnical Process and Construction Modelling, the aims of which are to develop new research areas concerning innovative construction techniques. The main thrust of the research is in the areas of underground construction, earthquake engineering, environmental geotechnics. Could a tunnel under Cambridge be the answer to our congestion issues?
Charlene Rohr, RAND Corporation: Charlene will talk about RAND’s recent research on ‘Travel in Britain in 2035’ and how emerging technologies (including autonomous vehicles, IoT, novel materials etc) might be able to alleviate the problem.
Taking place from 3pm - 7pm at the new North West Cambridge Development (Block E, Postdoc Centre @ Eddington, 105 Eddington Place) , this session - designed to give businesses, residents and anyone interested in this area a forum to share ideas and potential developments - is being run in conjunction with the Greater Cambridge Partnership, Smart Cambridge and AstraZeneca.
All are welcome to attend – this event is FREE for both Network members and non-members.
There is also exhibition space for companies and organisations who have ideas and may want to exhibit.
