Professor John Miles 

Chairman, IMPACT Working Group on Cities and Supporting Infrastructure

University of Cambridge

Professor Miles’ research interests lie in exploring the transitional pathways which might take us from today’s balance of energy demand and supply to that balance in future which will satisfy the conflicting requirements of universal provision, environmental protection, security, and affordability. Current themes are:

Transport: Exploring the potential to reduce urban emissions through the use of radical alternatives to conventional transport systems. Examples include the introduction of autonomous vehicles, on-demand bus services, and the use of city-wide real-time data to improve travellers’ options and reduce carbon footprints.

Electric Vehicles: Exploring the potential for electric vehicles to operate economically and reliably in the near future. Particular examples include the demonstration of electric buses operating under arduous urban conditions; the introduction of low-cost electric bus alternatives to tram and light-rail systems; the use of wireless charging systems to aid electric vehicle operations; the economic and infrastructural challenges of charge-on-the-move systems.

Brian Matthews 

Head of Transport Innovation

Milton Keynes Council

Milton Keynes is becoming one of Europe’s leading centre of innovation in transport and technology. It is home to the UK's centre of transport innovation expertise Transport Systems Catapult (TSC) and to the UK's major driverless car pilot project, along with Network Rail and Trek UK. Says Brian: 'Travel demand is likely to rise by 60 per cent while capacity can only increase by 25 per cent. That deficit has the potential to harm the quality of life, the environment and economic prosperity and growth unless alternative forms of transportation are identified. But managed well, the increased travel demand can mean significant social and economic benefit for the city.

Milton Keynes has welcomed the launch of electric buses with the trialling of low carbon transport systems, a vehicle demand response system and driverless pods. Milton Keynes’ Local Transport Plan now recognises both the continuing role of the car and the increasing awareness of the needs of business to be able to deliver growth. 'It seeks to influence and challenge everyone to think differently about how they travel,' says Brian.
