Podcasts about gulf traffic

This latest edition of our SMART Highways podcast focusses on the latest issue of the magazine, covering smart motorways, other safety features in car and traffic management. Our cover feature in this issue is all about the topical issue in Britain at the moment – the safety of smart motorways. Given the technology is being copied, or being considered, around the world as a lower-cost way of delivering more capacity, it’s a key issue everywhere. SMART Highways reporter Emma Greedy spoke to key people about the concept, the problems and possible solutions and explained some of her findings to Talking Transport presenter Paul Hutton, the editor of SMART Highways magazine. In the podcast we also hear from two SMART Highways columnists who stick with the Safety First? message of the cover of the latest issue. Andy Graham talks eCall while Scott Belcher discusses photo enforcement. Traffic management is also key in the latest issue with a range of articles from using the nudge theory to make a difference managing traffic better using data. There is also a long but excellent article about the use of automated solutions within urban traffic management and control. The article is about solutions in Northeast England using Mott MacDonald software called Osprey, so we hear from Ken Cowan from Mott MacDonald about it.

The final Talking Transport of 2018 comes from Gulf Traffic in Dubai looking at future trends in transport. In the programme, Paul Hutton - editor of SMART Highways - speaks to the event's Content Director about the hot topics being discussed this year. We hear from someone who has been involved in Dubai's changing traffic environment for the last 30 years and hear how modelling is helping meet the challenges. There's also an overview of the region's changes with a Solutions Architect and we talk again to ITS Arab about companies' opportunities in the region and how to turn ideas into business.

From the sunshine of Dubai, Paul Hutton brings you the final Talking Transport podcasts of 2018, reporting from Gulf Traffic. In the programme he talks to the Director General of ITS Arab about the technology in the region, the challenges it faces and where it is a leader or a learner. We talk to Siemens about the London innovation being brought to the Middle East and to Flir about its camera technology being widely used across the region. And the Operations Manager of ITS (UK) explains why the Society is visiting the show, making connections for its members and trumpeting British excellence.
