Course overview
Transport authorities, employers and infrastructure operators face a practical challenge: reduce emissions, congestion, injury risk and access gaps while maintaining reliable movement of people and goods. Connected vehicle systems, electric fleets, intelligent transport systems and automated driving can support these goals, but only when technology choices are tied to clear mobility outcomes, credible safety cases, data governance and realistic operating models. Poorly specified pilots can create stranded assets, exclude users without digital access or introduce cyber and road-safety risks.
This course develops the capability to plan, assess and govern smart mobility initiatives. Participants examine sustainable urban mobility planning, transport demand management, fleet electrification, charging strategy, connected and cooperative intelligent transport systems, vehicle automation, mobility-as-a-service, freight optimisation and active travel integration. They use ISO 14083, the GHG Protocol, SAE J3016 automation levels, lifecycle assessment principles, benefit-cost analysis, safety assurance and cyber-risk methods to make defensible decisions.
Teaching combines focused briefings, transport cases, facilitated analysis, design workshops and scenario-based decision making. Cases address municipal mobility programmes, corporate commuter travel, public transport operations, logistics fleets and road corridors. Participants progressively develop a smart mobility implementation package for a selected organisation, city district, corridor or fleet. The final package includes a baseline, target operating model, technology and data architecture, emissions case, safety and cyber controls, delivery roadmap, procurement criteria and performance measures.
The course suits professionals responsible for transport policy, sustainability, fleet operations, infrastructure, digital transformation, public safety or procurement. It is particularly relevant where organisations are considering connected vehicle pilots, electric fleet transition, smart corridor programmes, mobility platforms or automated vehicle readiness.
