Heightening the profile of UK Transport Research at the 13th International Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems

这项建议的目的是使大学交通研究团体能够在2006年10月8日至12日在伦敦Excel会议展览中心举行的第13届世界智能交通系统大会上参与提高知名度的活动。在2004年11月17日举行的Excel国际工程评审会上，皇家学院/EPSRC展示了卓越的工程技术，UTSG的成员将利用他们在展示中获得的材料和经验。资金要求用于制作在会议上分发的宣传材料（与研究和教学有关），租用空间和基础设施，在室内展示行人追踪器（纳皮尔）和“交通”（诺丁汉特伦特），并在室外展示两种高度仪器化的车辆（南安普顿和利兹），VPEMS，车辆排放监测系统，污染排放监测车辆（帝国）和高度通用的MAQS。流动空气质素站（利兹）此外，纽卡斯尔大学将展示一个使用自组织网络无线传感器的智能走廊，使代表们能够在展览周围的特定地点规划路线并下载POI（兴趣点）。为使研究生能够参加展览，我们要求提供资金，以激励他们在未来交通及其环境影响管理这一非常重要的领域从事职业。大会的组织工作已进入后期阶段，计划访问的细节(UTSG提供两次访问，PAMELA（伦敦大学学院）和驾驶模拟器和仪表城市（利兹），执行会议和特别会议正在最后确定，所有论文目前正在接受同行评审。许多UTSG成员放弃了大量的个人时间；作为组织团队的一员；举办特别会议，接受邀请为执行会议作出贡献，并自愿支持技术和科学会议、同行评议论文，并作为提名的主席等。UTSG成员提交了论文，并为参加由交通部、TRL和伦敦交通局发起的竞赛而努力。联资小组成员渴望不辜负他们作为实施智能交通系统基本知识基础提供者的声誉。正是出于这个原因，UTSG成员渴望有一个展台和一个户外示范区，这导致了这个提案的提交。ITS大会为展示UTSG的成果、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。

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.
