6 What is Smart Transport? Technology to implement a smart transport system is available today All around the world, economic stimulus is being injected by governments, much of it aimed at smart grids, healthcare, data integrationand crucially, smart transportationto improve the systems that make our world work.

Imagine if all the objects in the world had all the information that they needed to function optimally. Buildings would adjust themselves according to the temperature. Ovens would cook things for exactly the right time. The handles of umbrellas would glow when it was about to rain.

CVHS will reduce accidents and improve the performance and efficiency of existing road infrastructure while reducing fuel use, emissions and congestion. What can we expect to see? 14 Cooperative Vehicle Highway Systems Road Users of the future will have access to all necessary information at all times, irrespective of mode, in order to provide informed travel choice and options as the journey unfolds.

What can we expect to see? 15 Autonomous Car Cars that drive by themselves can aid the handicapped, reduce congestion and remove human error thus improving road safety. Driverless trucks, operating as road trains, can gain up to 20% fuel savings due to reduced air drag. In 2010 Google built a fleet of 7 self- driving cars collectively traversing 140,000 miles. Just about every traditional car maker is now developing its own self driving model.

What can we expect to see? 16 It's a sad statement about the direction that western society is heading, but it's a reality nonetheless. Being able to use drive times to do work, spend time with family, or simply relax is a clear potential benefit of having an autonomous car. The trend towards autonomy will become a juggernaut fuelled by social computing and companies such as Google that see the potential of the dashboard as the next expansion of the web Turn the corner Bern Grush Transport Technology International June/July 2011
