The workshop will enhance understanding and offer the practical skills needed for #inclusive and #climateresilient transportation, with a focus on #activemobility for #Africa's population. 📅 Tuesday 5th November 2024 at 10:00 EEST World Urban Forum, Cairo Register here to join this in-person event: https://lnkd.in/ey8swpyV #WUF12 #participatoryapproaches #lowcarbonmobility

We were delighted to present HVT research on greener #electromobility at Urban Mobility India 2024. Panelists and participants at the ‘Standardising mobility systems in core areas of Indian cities’ session discussed low emission zones (#LEZ) and linkages to #inclusion and climate mitigation. Our thanks to Kalpana Viswanath for representing HVT and The Urban Catalysts for sharing the work on women's mobility and access in Indian cities implemented under the HVT #TTRIID programme.

🙏 Many thanks to all the research teams for excellent presentations at our New Thinking For Tomorrow’s Transport webinar yesterday. Representatives from the four projects from #Africa funded by the Transport-Technology Research and Innovation for International Development (T-TRIID) programme presented #research into original ideas that could help in the shift towards #sustainable, safer, more inclusive #transport in African cities. 🌍 Michael Wanyama began with his project, 'Tackling Africa’s road safety and emissions from the source in #Uganda' addressing the problem of emissions from old, poorly maintained cars and the lack of available data about them . 🌏 Dmtsu Gebremariam Hagos presented 'Safety and Mobility Challenges of persons with disabilities in Mekelle city: Towards inclusive transport', a project aimed at providing improved infrastructure design and safer public transport in this Ethiopian city. 🌏 Integrated Transport Planning's Mark Dimond came next with 'Computer vision for transport data collection' from #SierraLeone. This project offers a low cost way of building up a picture of urban transport features using footage from dashcams and taxi drivers. 🌏 Timothy Durant of Vectos with Seun Sonoiki and Abdul Muizz Ogbara of Lamataonline presented 'Inclusive Interchanges', a project from #Nigeria addressing the role of interchanges in promoting safe, inclusive, low carbon mobility. The full webinar is now available to view on our YouTube channel here 👇 https://lnkd.in/ewBAJFZF #lowcarbontransport #innovationsintransport #TTRIID

📣 Register now to join this webinar on 'Resilient Transport Infrastructure Systems' TOMORROW 📣 🌏 Professor Jim Hall and Pamela Acheng will discuss #climaterisk analysis in #EastAfrica and the IEConnect team will present case studies from #Pakistan and #Mozambique. 📅 Thursday, October 24th, 8 AM EDT ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gENGH-NM   This is the second session of the Development Impact Transport program – ieConnect for Impact - and the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office webinar series “Data and Knowledge to Support Innovations, Resilience, and Inclusivity in Transport.” This monthly series will cover #evidence, #knowledge and #methodologies to support more effective, #resilient, and #inclusive #transport investments.

❗️Transport innovations in Africa, webinar happening TOMORROW ❗️ There's still time to join us tomorrow (Thursday) for our webinar exploring #research into innovative ideas to make #transport more #sustainable, safe and inclusive in low-income countries in #Africa.   Featured projects include ‘Inclusive Interchanges’ from Vectos (Part of SLR) who, with the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (Lamataonline), developed a new interchange design brief for sub-Saharan African cities. This improved design incorporates new technologies which will lead to better integration of both formal and informal public transport services. And Integrated Transport Planning (ITP) will present a cheap, efficient way of collecting transport #data thanks to a new online tool. ‘Computer Vision for Public Transport’ uses data from many different sources such as dashcam footage from city buses and taxis, to see live transport issues in specific areas. The data is then plotted on a map creating an evidence-based picture, enabling local authorities to more effectively manage their transport systems. We’ll also be presenting original ideas from these original research projects: 🌏 Tackling Africa’s road safety and emissions from the source in #Uganda and 🌏 Safety and Mobility Challenges of persons with disabilities in Mekelle city: Towards inclusive transport from #Ethiopia. 📅 Thursday 24th October, 10am – 11.15am UK Register here to join this free webinar 👇 https://lnkd.in/eqhyGmFg #lowcarbontransport #transportfortomorrow #TTRIID

🙏 Our thanks to all the panelists and everyone who attended our webinar, New Thinking For Tomorrow’s Transport, this morning. Excellent presentations on a range of innovative new projects in #Asia from: 🌍 Deepty Jain, of the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi with 'Gendered approach of addressing adaptation capacity to hot conditions' 🌍 Manisha Sharma of The Urban Catalysts presenting 'Safe and Secure public transport' 🌍 NS Jayalakshmi and Aviral Goyal of The Urban Lab with their project, 'Freight emission index for the heritage city of Ahmedabad' 🌍 Dr Prasanna Lama and Jonathan Flower of Nepal Injury Research Centre (NIRC) presenting 'Policy and regulation development for motorcycle taxi safety in Nepal', and 🌍 Nazmus Sakib, PhD, PE of Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh, with 'Road design guidelines considering three-wheeler slow-moving vehicles (Tri-SMVs) for urban and rural roads of Bangladesh'. A recording of the webinar will be available on our Youtube channel shortly. ❗️Don't miss part 2 on Thursday, when we'll be presenting projects from our #TTRIID programme featuring new research from #Africa ❗️ Register here 👇 https://lnkd.in/eqhyGmFg #transportfortomorrow #lowcarbontransport #transportresearch

❗️HAPPENING TOMORROW ❗️ Don't miss the first part of our webinar series featuring original research into sustainable and inclusive transport in low-income countries. Join the discussion around this new thinking, which could change transport in LICs in Asia and Africa for the better. 🌏 Part one presents research from #Asia: 📅 Tuesday 22nd October, 10am - 11.30am UK 🌍 Part two covers innovations from #Africa: 📅 Thursday 24tth October, 10am - 11.15am UK Register here for both free webinars 👇 https://lnkd.in/eqhyGmFg #transportresearch #research #nepal #india #delhi #lowcarbontransport #climatechange #safetravelforwomen

A fascinating article by Sonal Shah (She/ her) the Hindustan Times about bringing women into state policies around electric vehicles. Well worth a read.

📣 🌍 Have you registered for our Asia webinar yet?? 🌍 📣 There's still time to sign up to join us for the first of a two-part series of webinars exploring new, original #research that could help in the push towards #sustainable, safe and inclusive transport in low-income countries in #Asia.   Featured projects include ‘Gendered approaches for addressing adaptation capacity to hot weather conditions’, from the Transportation Research and Injury Prevention Programme(TRIPP)IIT Delhi. This work examines the travel patterns of #women commuters and explores their exposure to extreme heat. Its findings will enable improved #heatwave action plans to reduce the vulnerability of all genders while they travel.   And from #Bangladesh, we’ll present new research into improved #roaddesign to accommodate three-wheeled vehicles, such as #rickshaws. This project, ‘Road design guidelines considering three-wheeler slow-moving vehicles for urban and rural roads of Bangladesh’ carried out by the Islamic University of Technology, could ensure that passengers and drivers of these very commonly used vehicles will be able to travel more comfortably, without risk of accident or injury. We'll also be presenting innovative ideas from these research projects👇 🌏 Freight Emissions Index for Heritage City of Ahmedabad, #India 🌏 Policy and Regulation for Motorcycle Taxi safety in #Nepal; 🌍 Safe and Secure Public Transport, India 📅 Tuesday 22nd October, 10 am UK Register here for one or both webinars 👇: https://lnkd.in/eqhyGmFg
