The IET ARTS Network recently went along to the Traffex exhibition at the NEC, where we took the opportunity to host a ‘Peak Car Usage’ debate

which was well received and generated some good discussion from participants.

 

 During the day we also found time to record some excellent demonstrations for our YouTube channel:

 

This is SanPark Multi-Storey Car Parking system in action, a great way of getting more cars into our inner city car parks.  It also caters for bicycles too as this video shows.

 

The Future of Electric Vehicle Charging – Siemens were demonstrating their new rapid and easy access chargers, one of which is so lightweight it can be installed on a wall.

 

Brompton Bike Hire Dock – Brompton are expanding this facility and plan to have docks in 10-12 UK locations by the end of this year.

 

We also took the time to visit the various exhibitors at Traffex to seek their views on a number of pertinent questions relating to Future of Transport and have produced the following videos, some of them controversial:

 

Is government deterring car Ownership?

Cars of the Future- How is the car market changing?

Are driverless cars the future?

What is the future of Public Transport?

 

The Network would like to record its thanks to everyone who participated in these videos and hope that you will enjoy watching them, if you'd like to contribute further either post a comment below or why not contribute to our discussion forum?
