CatapultsA new force for innovation & growth

• Part of a world-leading network of technology and innovation centres

• Bridge the gap between businesses, academia, research and government

• Long-term investment to transform the UK’s ability to create new products and services

• Open up global opportunities for the UK and generate sustained economic growth for the future

• Being established and overseen by the Technology Strategy Board

• Two further Catapults announced

Transport Systems Catapult

‘Drive UK global leadership in intelligent mobility promoting sustained economic growth and wellbeing through integrated, efficient and sustainable transport systems’

Transport Systems CatapultThe industry’s focal point for transport systems innovation and excellence

Transport in Context

Why is Transport Important?

‘the UK’s ability to generate and sustain economic growth and jobs depends on the quality of our transport systems.’ ICE State of the Nation report 2014

• Key driver to the health and wealth of the nation• Without transport, we would run out of most foods within

seven days and energy within a few weeks• Transport gets us to work, it ensures we can get the goods we

need (and want). • Transport enables us to live where we want, work where we

can, enjoy our leisure time

Why is Transport Important?

Globally

• 30 million miles of roads

• 80 billion passenger kilometers per day

• 30 billion tonne kilometers of freight per day

• 50,000 vessels deliver 570 million containers to ports around the world

UK

• 1.4 million people are employed in the transport and storage sector

• Total length of road in Great Britain estimated to be 245.4 thousand miles

• Value of logistics to UK economy: £75bn

Challenges

Population Growth - 2050

• World population currently 7.1 billion will increase to 9.7 billion

• UK population will swell from today's 62.2 million to 77 million + 24%

• Equivalent to combined populations of Glasgow, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds

• Bigger than France (70 million proj.) and Germany (71.5 million proj.)

Negative Impact

• Excess delay is costing our urban economies £11 billion pa

• This will increase to £22 billion pa by 2025

• Carbon emissions impose costs to society of up to £4 billion

pa

• Public health costs c£25 billion through physical inactivity,

air quality and noise.

Energy Consumption

• Rapidly Increasing Energy Costs• +46% projected 2013 - 2020

• Transport: 36% of total consumption of UK energy products 2012. • Road transport: 74% • Air transport: 23%• Rail 2%• Marine 0.6%

• Transport Energy Consumption: +11% 1990 to 2011• Some decrease in total consumption since 2007

• Economic downturn• Less car use for leisure• Improved engine efficiency

Common Requirements

All modes (road, rail, sea, air, active) have common requirements:

• Reducing cost

• Reducing use of resources and environmental impact

• Increasing efficiency

• Improving convenience

17

Complexity

• Markets and industry silos

• Need to drive behaviour change – users and

providers

• Very wide range of stakeholders

• Metrics

• Role of government

• Commercialising R&D - IP

Challenges to Innovation

‘It is very evident that the challenges of technology development are not related primarily to the technology itself, but to the regulatory, commercial and operational environment in which development and deployment takes place’Railway Industry Association report on Technology Development 2009

‘The key to Intelligent Mobility lies in the interconnections which can be made between a range of different industries and technologies.’Automotive Council

Intelligent Mobility:The efficient & cost

effective movement of people and goods

10 Innovation Challenges

1. Improving the traveller experience at transport modal interchanges2. Minimising the impact of disruption through use of adjacent transport networks3. Incentivising the provision of a seamless journey through modal interchanges4. Providing personalised contextualised, trusted, information that improves the traveller experience5. Developing insight from transport system information to improve the performance of the network6. Offering end to end mobility as a service7. Integrating quality of life and city economy benefits into transport decisions8. Enabling whole journey accessibility of transport systems9. Taking a systems approach to investment and policy in transport infrastructure10. Delivering seamless freight

Benefits of intelligent mobility

Social perspective:• Reductions in CO2 (help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 34% by 2020 and 80% by 2050)

• Improved safety and security of public and private transport

• Smarter end to end travel options• Reduced congestion • Health and wealth of the citizen

Benefits of intelligent mobility

Business perspective:• Connecting expertise: expediting the commercialisation of research to

generate exploitable IPR• Clustering of transport systems organisations• Providing a platform for start-up businesses in transport technology

areasEconomic perspective:• Improvement in the competitiveness of the UK• Increased direct foreign investment• Direct economic benefits through increases in transport sector jobs• Improved efficiency in the haulage and logistics sectors
