项目摘要

Modern lifestyles and patterns of travel are increasingly permeated and supported by information technologies (IT). Our transport systems are similarly dependent increasingly upon IT to manage system capacity and the demands placed upon it. IT is the facilitator of opportunities to address present and future needs, desires and problems. The field of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has traditionally looked to realise such opportunities through innovation that is commercially led (e.g. Satellite Navigation systems) or government led with commercial companies implementing systems to its specification through a tendering process (e.g. real-time information systems for bus services). This proposal stems from the contention that there may be another significant, but largely over-looked, source of innovation - specifically where users (people, organisations and businesses) are conceiving of uses of existing forms of IT and ITS in innovative ways and different contexts than those anticipated by their providers. Increasingly the producer/consumer model of the delivery of information services is giving way to a network mode where content and services are generated by users. By attempting to study and discover 'user innovations' there is the prospect of being able to identify, develop and exploit new opportunities for existing technologies and services to address challenges facing transport systems and users.This project will develop and apply an 'ITS Observatory' / a mixed method approach to looking for and examining creative behaviours being exhibited by transport system users. Research expertise in social psychology and human factors relating to IT will be combined with industry expertise in data and information generation, manipulation and visualisation to support advances in information services. The cataloguing of user innovations exposed by the Observatory will form the basis for identifying prospective pathways to commercial innovation and exploitation. Selected pathways will then be pursued within the project.

信息技术日益渗透和支持现代生活方式和旅行模式。同样，我们的运输系统也越来越依赖资讯科技来管理系统容量和需求。IT是解决当前和未来需求、愿望和问题的机会的推动者。传统上，智能交通系统（ITS）领域希望通过商业主导的创新（例如卫星导航系统）或政府主导的商业公司通过招标过程实施符合其规范的系统（例如公共汽车服务的实时信息系统）来实现这些机会。这一提议源于一种争论，即可能存在另一种重要的、但在很大程度上被忽视的创新来源——特别是用户（个人、组织和企业）正在设想以创新的方式和不同于供应商预期的环境使用现有形式的IT和ITS。提供信息服务的生产者/消费者模式正逐渐让位于由用户生成内容和服务的网络模式。通过尝试研究和发现“用户创新”，有可能能够识别、开发和利用现有技术和服务的新机会，以解决交通系统和用户面临的挑战。这个项目将发展和应用一个“智能交通系统观测站”/混合方法来寻找和检查交通系统用户所表现出的创造性行为。与资讯科技有关的社会心理学和人为因素的研究专长，将与业界在数据和资讯生成、操作和可视化方面的专长相结合，以支持资讯服务的发展。将天文台发现的用户创新进行编目，将成为确定商业创新和利用的可能途径的基础。选定的途径将在项目中进行。
