In this episode of the Interlinks podcast, we talk to three special guests in relation to an exciting new European project that is currently underway sponsored by CEDR (the Conference of the European Directors of Roads) that is focused on developing recommendations for policies in relation to Intelligent Access to the road networks of Europe.
Our guests today are:
We explore the concept of Intelligent Access—a forward-thinking approach aimed at aligning the capabilities of road freight vehicles with the conditions and limitations of specific road segments to ensure safer, more efficient transport across Europe.
This vital work is being carried out by a specialist consortium known as ISAC (Intelligent Access Surface Community), which brings together leading experts in road transport, logistics, infrastructure, and supply chain management. The initiative is backed by five European countries: the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Ireland. The consortium is led by global engineering firm AECOM, and all of our guests are directly involved in this pioneering effort.
In our conversation, we dive into what Intelligent Access really means, its potential to transform road freight and infrastructure use across Europe, and how emerging technologies like automation and digitisation are shaping the future of transport policy. We also look at the practical challenges of implementing IA schemes across borders and jurisdictions.
If you're interested in the future of mobility, transport innovation, or how smart policy can reshape Europe’s road networks, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. Tune in now to hear directly from the experts driving this change.
