New Technologies in Data Collection and Analysis - LondonBOOK NOW
27/11/2025 09:00:00 - 27/11/2025 17:00:00


This course will be held in-person in London.

Mobile Network data and AI Vision Analytics are two of the newer data sources to the strategic planning and operational aspects of transportation projects.  They have varied benefits over existing traditional data collection sources due to their sample sizes, geographic extent, consistency, and the ability to request data in real-time or over defined time periods.  Transport operators and public sector organisations are using a variety of mobile network and big data sources to improve their operational decision-making and provide a richer evidence-base for their strategic decision-making.


This course provides an introduction into how these, and other new and emerging datasets are collected, analysed, and used in the transportation industry.  Alongside this, the course will provide a summary of use cases and highlight the benefits and limitations of each data source.

This course has been developed for transport professionals involved in strategic planning, incident management & planning and operational planning wishing to develop their knowledge and proficiency, ranging from private sector and public sector organisations.

Technical Report Writing - OnlineBOOK NOW
02/12/2025 09:00:00 - 02/12/2025 17:00:00



Many professionals lack confidence in their report-writing skills, and feel that their credibility suffers because their written reports are not a fair reflection of their expertise. Anyone involved in technical work will quickly discover the challenges presented when trying to communicate their ideas, information, proposals or recommendations to colleagues and clients. All too often, the impact of many hours of work can hinge on the ability to explain the results effectively to others.

This programme is suitable for transportation practitioners at all levels wishing to improve their technical writing skills; it is also particularly useful for those new to technical report writing in a business and consultancy context.

Delivering Effective Access and Inclusion - OnlineBOOK NOW
03/12/2025 09:00:00 - 03/12/2025 17:00:00



This course provides an introduction into the area of accessibility and public transport integration. Drawing on a range of case studies and approaches, this course examines the latest access and inclusion agenda as it relates to public transport and interchange, the role of the community transport and taxi sector, station travel planning and multimodal access to rail, as well as BRT and more conventional bus and rail integration. The key role of active travel to stimulate greater use of public transport and the types of interchange and ‘last mile’ improvements needed to encourage this will also be covered.

The course will outline the latest thinking on access, diversity and inclusion as set out in DfT’s Inclusive Transport Strategy, as well as explaining the main principles of the Equality Act.

The course, run in an interactive workshop format, will also look at the implications of regulations including the PSVAR requirements and the Office of Rail and Road’s Accessible Transport Policy. Finally it will consider the role of station travel plans and how these tools can be used to provide holistic accessibility solutions.

The transportation system is being asked to play a greater role in society these days as we strive to move people, fuel the economy, be more energy efficient, and address the role of the automobile in climate change.

Overcoming the Challenges of Poor Air QualityBOOK NOW
27/01/2026 09:00:00 - 27/01/2026 17:00:00



Over the past five years, legislation has become stricter, with the recent Environmental Act (2021), new air quality monitoring technology has been unleashed to identify hidden air pollution hotspots, and the rollout of more traffic interventions such as clean air zones and low-traffic neighbourhoods have encouraged positive mobility trends.

Since the net-zero carbon commitment, both public and private sector organisations have committed to decreasing greenhouse gas emissions to minimal levels. With this course, you will learn the principles of delivering a successful carbon plan on time and within budget to promote
public health benefits and restore the natural environment of our local communities.

Despite the damaging health and environmental concerns associated with air pollution, tremendous progress has already been made towards creating a sustainable future. Join our one-day training workshop on tackling air pollution and championing decarbonisation initiatives. This
course is designed to improve our understanding on new regulatory and legislative requirements for air quality, the use of new technology, and the implementation of traffic interventions.

Tailored for policymakers, practitioners, and local government players interested in improving air quality, this training will equip you with necessary skills to effectively engage with communities to drive behaviour and environmental change.

Essential Legislation for Transport Planners - OnlineBOOK NOW
25/02/2026 09:00:00 - 25/02/2026 17:00:00



The reduction in personnel within many local authorities has led to internal staff and term consultants having to become familiar with wider and varying areas of activity, often without being provided sufficient training on the legal requirements placed on highway authorities. In addition, current pressures on the management of a highway network plus the delivery of projects can often mean that not all practitioners have a clear understanding of the powers, duties, legal and administrative bases on which these are maintained, managed and promoted.

This one-day course provides an essential insight into the distinction between law and guidance and the risks that can arise from any departure. It will cover the main duties, statutory and discretionary powers and obligations placed on highway and traffic practitioners by UK highway and traffic legislation.
