Transport telematics and other technologies for sustainable mobility have huge potential to reduce the environmental impact of transport, improve the customer experience, increase productivity through reduced congestion and improve the efficiency, safety and security of transport networks.

The rich source of invention in the UK is often overtaken by faster moving exploitation in other nations. Effort is therefore required to accelerate transport innovation from the diverse range of players in the UK and focus upon achieving a world-class position for UK industry.

With a concerted effort, the UK can position itself as a major player not only in the European market but in other major markets around the world, including North America and Japan.

innovITS acts as a catalyst for deployment and exploitation of technologies for sustainable mobility to strengthen UK capabilities across a range of industries including automotive, telecommunications and transport operations and infrastructure.
