1 Background Half-day Seminar 21 May 2016 (Saturday) The Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation (CIHT) is a learned society concerned specifically with the planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of land-based transport systems and infrastructure. It aims to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and views on highways and transport policy; to provide specialist advice to government and other bodies; to make roads safer for the travelling public; and to encourage training and professional development to meet today's requirements. CIHT has over members worldwide, working across a wide range of disciplines. Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation, Hong Kong Branch, was set up more than 30 years ago, to provide a forum or a platform in Hong Kong for engineers, planners, professionals and related operators. Every year CIHT Hong Kong Branch organises a half-day seminar to provide a platform for academics, professionals and other interested parties to exchange views on selected technical topics. This year the University of Hong Kong continues to be the co-organiser of this event. The Half-Day Seminar for 2016 will be held on 21 May 2016 (Saturday) morning, in Wang Gungwu Theatre of the University of Hong Kong. Professionals and students from University, Consultant and Contractor, as well as those related to transport or highway industries will be invited. Theme Nowadays, around a quarter of the world s energy is used for transportation. Road transportation alone is consuming on average 85% of the total energy used by the transport sector in developed countries. It is evident that energy consumption and vehicle emissions are key factors contributing to global warming. To protect the environment, we need to maximize the efficiency of and minimize the pollution caused by our transport system. To sustain the smart growth of cities for livable environment, we need to develop and apply new technology on maximizing the efficiency of our transport system so as to minimizing the energy waste / consumption. The topic for this year s Half-Day Seminar is:. 1

6 Half-day Seminar 21 May 2016 (Saturday) Theme 1 Intelligent Transport Systems in Asia: The Future of our Roads to 2020 and beyond Synopsis: An integrated transport system implies infrastructure that underpins efficient transport services or, in other words, the systems and organisational arrangements that can provide end-toend transport for individuals and business. However, integrated also implies connected and coordinated which is the domain of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) that represents the enabling technologies and applications employed by all stakeholders: infrastructure operators, transport service providers, users and increasingly 3 rd party information service providers. Governments have traditionally been responsible for the provision of new infrastructure (either publicly or privately funded) to provide access and to improve mobility. Increasingly, the efficient operation of this new infrastructure depends on well-known ITS such as Urban Traffic Control (UTC) systems and Incident Management Systems (IMS). Equally, transport service providers have been investing in fleet management systems, intelligent bus stops and taxi e-hailing services and users are gaining significant benefits from using their mobile phone as the primary interface to research, plan and pay for their journeys. However, as we become better informed we also become more demanding, and it is clear that transport capacity provision will increasingly need a balanced provision of new infrastructure whilst making better use of existing capacity. Without a variety of coordinated measures, the benefits of new road capacity will continue to degrade - often caused by inefficient traffic management and enforcement strategies - coupled with ineffective demand side measures. ITS fits in all of these areas and can enable a rich portfolio of demand management policies from restricted access schemes, through managed motorways to road pricing. However, imposing a fee to manage demand has controversial wherever it has been used despite the fact that ensuring the sustainability of our road network, in the face of growing congestion and harmful emissions, remains a desirable outcome. The presentation will review international best practice in ITS and new policy options for roadbased transport, including managed motorways, Low Emission Zones (LEZ), workplace parking levies, Electronic Road Pricing, EVs, Heavy Good Vehicle (HGV) access fees and the potential role of big data and driverless vehicles towards improving the liveability of our cities. Finally, a new approach to the delivery of transport services will be proposed: Mobility as a Service (MaaS). Does this innovation represent the next stage in the evolution of transport policy-making: perhaps taking our cities further towards a balanced and integrated transport future?

11 Half-day Seminar 21 May 2016 (Saturday) Theme 5 Connected and Autonomous Vehicle Synopsis: In the evolution of urban mobility, Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) are no long a question of if but rather of when. There are significant economic and social benefits associated with take up of CAVs, including increased road safety, reduced congestion and reduced emissions. From a user perspective, the deployment of CAVs will provide a time and space for other activities to take place from catching up on s to watching TV. Indeed, elements of automation and vehicle connectivity are already here. Self-parking, lane keep assistance systems and adaptive cruise control are all features of autonomy that give the driver added value and safety during their journey. The challenge exists for cities, companies and road and transport authorities to understand what the impact of CAVs will be over the next two decades and how they maximise the opportunities in order to better manage transport networks today and in the future. This applies beyond borders and there is a need to share knowledge to create long term sustainable economic growth, move technologies from early adoption to mainstream market positioning and carefully consider the business models and policy and regulatory implications for current traffic laws and street design. These considerations in turn need to reflect how vehicle design affects urban planning and wider smart city objectives. This Presentation will explore some key definitions, concepts and potential benefits and challenges around the future development of CAVs. In particular, whilst the United Kingdom is in a leading competitive position to support technology development and companies such as Google are driving approaches in North America, Asia is not standing still. Japanese and Korean vehicle manufacturers are already making major technology advances towards China and Singapore are emerging as key global players, both for production capability and early deployment at the city level. Hong Kong will need to consider carefully how these developments impact on its transport policies, regulations and road management, and develop proactive pathways which anticipate rather than react to technological change. CAVs have the potential to trigger a transformation of the urban landscape in Asia with huge social, environmental and economic benefits, but only if cities and transportation agencies plan ahead and help drive this evolution. As the technology becomes a reality, cities will need to take a hard look at their digital infrastructure and other capabilities and work across the public and private sectors to develop policies, regulations and standards which ensure that they are not left behind.
