“Data is the new oil”, but our reliance on a carbon-based transport system must be quashed. Climate change already poses significant threats to the entire of the UK’s transport infrastructure: from our cyber and physical infrastructure, vehicles, and supply chains, to the health and livelihoods of communities. To achieve a climate-resilient and decarbonised road and rail system, we must harness the power of data to inform decision-making and planning, better understand risks and vulnerabilities, and guide us towards a net zero future. But how exactly do we do that?
Professor Phil Blythe CBE, DARe Hub Director, is joined by a panel of speakers from the DARe team with diverse backgrounds in transport:
- Dr Alistair Ford – Senior Lecturer in Geospatial Data Analytics and School X Climate Fellow, Newcastle University
