The Catch! Transport Systems Innovation Workshop 2017 brought together senior representatives from across local authority functions to generate creative transport solutions using next-generation data.
During one intensive and fun day, each of five teams identified an existing problem faced by local authorities and developed a solution, business case and deployment strategy. |
The workshops objectives
New sources of data are changing the way transport systems are designed and operated. In several countries, we have seen that this is disrupting everything from customer expectations to how local authorities make data-driven strategic planning and policy decisions.
To prevent missing out on unlocking this potential in the U.K., we invited an exclusive group of experts from a variety of fields to this workshop and asked them to consider:
The attendees worked together to generate creative solutions for leading local authorities that answered the following questions:
To prevent missing out on unlocking this potential in the U.K., we invited an exclusive group of experts from a variety of fields to this workshop and asked them to consider:
- How can local authorities get quantifiable benefits from crowdsourced travel data.
The attendees worked together to generate creative solutions for leading local authorities that answered the following questions:
- What value can the data collected bring to Local Authorities & which roles within Local Authorities would benefit from that data?
- How can we ensure widespread adoption, so that the data is reliable and representative?
- What are the key next steps?

The Data Revolution - How data is set to change the way we travel |
Lucy shares the astounding progress of data and how it is leading to a revolution in the improvement of systems that will have a significant impact on our lives.
|
|
|
|
Ingenious - Smart Cities Experience and Data Exploitation |
Paul shares some real world examples of how data has been used to improve the efficiency of systems, sometimes in surprising ways.

Catch! - The Project, the Data & the Challenge |
Peter introduces the Catch! project, highlighting what makes Catch! data a game changer and provoking the question: what possibilities does Catch! data open up?

Output presentations
|
Identify interventions to minimise the disruption of infrastructure projects
Team E developed a concept to use granular travel behaviour to minimise the impact of disruption on citizens from infrastructure projects. |
|
|
Enhanced travel plan monitoring
Team B explored how better quality travel data can deliver more effective travel planning initiatives. |
|
|
Improved transport assessments of planned developments
Team C made the case for using detailed travel behaviour data to better assess the impact of developments when considering planning applications. |
|
|
Transformation of Home-to-School transport
Team A impressed the judges with their plan to transform Home to School service provision by using detailed data to optimise routing and evaluate interventions. They proposed to use the app and facts it reveals to capture the energy and persistence of children and turn them into agents of behaviour change! |
|
|
One-stop data source for strategic planning & decision making
Team D saw the impact that Catch! data could have across the full spectrum of local authorities' transport and planning roles and beyond. They envisaged a single solution that served all those needs, leading to efficiency savings and better services. |

About Catch
The workshop is a key input to the Catch! project, which is funded by Innovate UK. The project will create a highly-scalable system to crowdsource, analyse and act upon travel-behaviour data gathered in real time, and develop the most appropriate strategy to create a sustainable business. The system will comprise a mechanism to provide transport professionals with next-generation travel-behaviour data and analyses, and a 'living journey planner' app that gives citizens frustration-free routing based on live travel conditions inferred from crowdsourced data.
Catch! is a 2-year £2m project led by TravelAi in collaboration with The Behaviouralist, The Consumer Data Research Centre, Coventry City Council, Elgin, Leeds City Council, Ipswich Borough Council, Newcastle City Council, Oxfordshire County Council, TransportAPI, The Transport Systems Catapult and the Urban Big Data Centre.
