The purpose of this proposal is to enable the University Transport Studies Research Community to engage in profile raising activity at the 13th World Congress in ITS, Intelligent Transport Systems to be held at the Excel Conference and Exhibition Centre, London during 8th / 12th October 2006. UTSG members will build on the materials and experience gained during the Royal Academy/EPSRC Showcase of Engineering Excellence which was delivered at the Excel International Review of Engineering on 17th November 2004. Funding is requested for the production of promotional materials (relating to research and teaching) for distribution at the conference, for hiring space and infrastructure to exhibit indoors, the pedestrian tracker (Napier) and 'Trafficmatics' (Nottingham Trent) and to demonstrate outdoors the two highly instrumented vehicles (Southampton and Leeds), the VPEMS , Vehicle Emissions Monitoring System, pollution emissions monitoring vehicle (Imperial) and the highly versatile MAQS, Mobile Air Quality Station (Leeds). In addition, Newcastle University will demonstrate an intelligent corridor using ad-hoc network wireless sensors enabling delegates to plan routes and download POI (points of interest) at specific locations around the exhibition. Funding is requested to enable post graduate students attend the Exhibition in anticipation that it will inspire them to engage in careers in this very important area in the future management of traffic and its environmental impact.The organisation of the Congress is in its advanced stages, details of proposed visits (UTSG are offering two, the PAMELA (UCL) and Driving simulator and instrumented City (Leeds), executive and special session are being finalised, and all papers are currently under peer review. Many of the UTSG members are giving up substantial personal time; as part of the organising team; and developed Special Sessions, accepted invitations to contribute to Executive Sessions and volunteered support for Technical and Scientific Sessions, peer reviewing papers, and as nominated chairpersons etc. UTSG members have submitted papers and working towards entering the competitions that have been launched by the Department for Transport, TRL and the Transport for London. UTSG members are keen to live up to their reputation as providers of the fundamental knowledge base for ITS implementation. It is for this reason that UTSG members are eager to have an exhibition stand and an outdoor demonstration area which led to this proposal submission. The ITS Congress opens up enormous potential for showcasing the UTSG outputs and for raising the profile of the EPSRC and the UK Transport research, learning and teaching.

这项提议的目的是使大学交通研究研究界能够在2006年10月8日/12日在伦敦Excel会议和展览中心举行的智能交通系统第13届世界大会上参与提高知名度的活动。UTSG成员将在皇家科学院/EPSRC卓越工程展示期间获得的材料和经验的基础上再接再厉，该展示是在2004年11月17日举行的Excel国际工程评论上发表的。请拨经费用于制作宣传材料(与研究和教学有关)，用于租用场地和基础设施在室内展示行人跟踪器(Napier)和Trafficmatics(诺丁汉·特伦特)，并在室外展示两种高度仪表化的车辆(南安普顿和利兹)、VPEMS、车辆排放监测系统、污染排放监测车辆(Imperial)和多功能MAQS流动空气质量监测站(利兹)。此外，纽卡斯尔大学将展示一种使用自组织网络无线传感器的智能走廊，使代表能够在展会周围的特定地点规划路线和下载POI(兴趣点)。大会的组织工作已进入后期阶段，建议参观的细节(UTSG将提供两项内容，Pamela(伦敦大学学院)和驾驶模拟器及仪表化城市(利兹))，执行和特别会议正在最后敲定，目前所有论文都在同行评审中。许多UTSG成员放弃了大量的个人时间；作为组织团队的一部分；并制定了特别会议，接受了向执行会议投稿的邀请，自愿支持技术和科学会议、同行评审论文，并作为提名的主席等。UTSG成员提交了论文，并努力参加由交通部、TRL和伦敦交通局发起的比赛。UTSG成员热衷于不辜负其作为实施其基础知识基础的提供者的声誉。正是出于这个原因，UTSG成员渴望拥有一个展台和一个户外示范区，这导致了这次提案的提交。ITS大会为展示UTSG的成果和提高EPSRC和英国交通研究、学习和教学的形象开辟了巨大的潜力。
