SUMMARY:Decarbonising Transport by 2050 – the view from government
DESCRIPTION:DecarboN8 Future Transport Fuels Webinar Series \nJoin us for the second of a series of webinars brought to you by DecarboN8’s Future Transport Fuels research theme. This free event is for academics\, students\, policymakers\, businesses\, civil society and anyone interested in the decarbonisation of transport in the UK. \nDecarbonising Transport by 2050 – the view from government \nProfessor Phil Blythe\, Newcastle University \nAbout the event: \nThis webinar will discuss the DfT’s activities on transport decarbonisation including the Transport Decarbonisation Plan\, the Science Plan and the R&D required to deliver on the net-zero target\, including the challenge in the context of the coronavirus outbreak. \nAbout the speaker: \nProfessor Phil Blythe CEng FIET is Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department for Transport and Professor of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) at Newcastle University. Prior to joining the Department for Transport he was Director of the Transport Operations Research Group for 13 years. \nPhil’s academic focus has been the development of ITS – the use of information\, communications and computing technology applied to transport. His research portfolio covers a wide range of areas where ITS has been applied to transport including: road to vehicle communications; road user charging systems; ITS for assistive mobility\, smartcards and radio frequency identification (RFID)\, wireless / smartdust technologies\, electromobility and future intelligent infrastructure. \nHis research is also forward-looking and attempts to bridge the technology-policy gap in terms of what technologies may evolve to meet future policy objectives or influence future policy thinking to meet the challenges. \nPhil is Vice-President of the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET)\, is a member of their Lectures Committee and supports the IET in the UK and abroad in areas such intelligent transport\, connected and autonomous vehicles\, electro-mobility and smart cities and on the Big Data / Internet of Things agendas.
