Had the great joy to host a brilliant Intelligent Transport Systems UK 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫-𝐁𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐮𝐦 meeting at WMG, University of Warwick. Pleasure to have Prof Sarah Sharples FREng, Chief Scientific Advisor (Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom), as our keynote speaker who provided a strong challenge to us and the wider ITS community on creating concrete tools to implement a user-centered approach to transport design... Followed up with super talks from Mark Collins, Sunil Budhdeo, Aston Brand, and Jacqueline Upton who through case studies provided insights into capturing user-behaviour/expectations & the corresponding intervention design. A common thread was the creation of "Personas". Huge thank you to all the attendees for joining us and their contribution to the discussion and workshop sessions. Lots for us to act on & learn through sharing. As Chair of the forum (together with Aston Brand - Vice Chair), our mission is to allow people to intuitively take a user-centred approach. This behaviour change is our combined mission. Watch this space as we share more... Thank you to Max Sugarman, Rukshan Soysa and the wider ITS UK team for all the support in organising the event... #RealITS #SystemsThinking #UserCentredDesign #Mobility Transport for West Midlands AtkinsRéalis National Highways Coventry City Council University of Warwick
