Intelligent Access to European Road Networks
In this episode I converse with to two special guests in relation to an exciting new European project that has just got 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.Intelligent Access or IA is an approach that seeks to match the performance and characteristics of road freight vehicles with the state and capability of specific sections of the road infrastructure.
The project work is being undertaken by a consortium called ISAC (Intelligent Surface Access Community) which is made up of several specialist companies with expertise in various aspects of road transport, logistics, supply chain and infrastructure. The project is funded by five European countries - the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Ireland.
The ISAC consortium is led by the multinational engineering firm AECOM and indeed our two guests today are from AECOM and they are:
- John Hix: Head of AECOM's Freight and Logistics Team.
- Scott Stephenson: Associate Director of Operational Research focused on Transport.
