1. The Future of Mobility
The future of ubiquitous, interconnected modes of transport depends on
interoperability of data across and between the transport modes and their operators
and users.
This interoperability depends as much on the policies and practices of the actors in
FoM as the technology
There are many actors. This creates fragmentation and barriers to data exchange
which may block the FoM development
2. User Story
“As a family of two adults and two children I want to travel from my house in Leeds
to the Jorvik Centre in York”
o 1. I am offered a variety of journey options for a single price
o 2. I can choose based on price, journey time, transport mode, convenience
etc
o 3. The price could include non-transport extras such as entrance to the
attraction or accommodation
3. Use Case to Support User Story
In Scope Out of Scope Data structures and encodings Data security Data transfer and communications Data privacy Organisational policies and regulation Electrification Whole data lifecycle for creation to
deletion Digital inclusion
Data discovery and re-use CAV operations Forecasting and simulations Emissions and environment Data quality and assurance

5. Executive Summary of Findings
Data interoperability in the context of future of mobility is not limited by the
availability of technical data standards
o Standards to describe and develop data catalogues, data structures and API’s
are published widely
o There are specific instances and examples for transport data
o There is however a lack of awareness of these standards and how to
implement them
Data interoperability in the context of future of mobility is primarily limited by the
lack of usable datasets
o This is due to a number of reasons: ‘no data’, ‘data exists but not published’,
‘data published but not discovered’.
o As this is an emerging market the business drivers are not prioritising data
publication for consumption in the future of mobility market place
The immaturity of the market has had a knock-on effect for data interoperability
o As the market is still emerging there is a general lack of ‘business best
practice’
o Key to this is responsibilities and liabilities across the supply chain
o This includes what types of data are needed, the investment required to
assure its quality
6. BSI Recommendations Summary – (Pending Official DfT Endorsement)
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
10 | P a g e
7. Future of Mobility Framework (R#1)
A code of practice
o Creating the right environment for business operation and investment
o Clarity on responsibilities and compliance
o Ensuring customer expectations are met
8. Concept for Data Exchange Ontology (R#2)
9. Why a Data Advisory Panel? (R#3)
Transport data should be considered an infrastructure as much as physical assets
such as roads. The roads re there for all to use on an equal basis, with common
norms (standards) for their safe and efficient use
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
11 | P a g e
If we rely on the commons to contribute their data in an uncoordinated way, you will
get an infrastructure of sorts. But it will be rough, even if low cost
If we coordinate the data needed, you get better infrastructure and more use and
more users
But, there is a cost to maintaining and repairing the infrastructure. But we have a
model (with roads – also Telecoms) where public and private come together to
ensure this works.
10. Future of Mobility Community – integrated with projects (R#4)

Challenges, Collaboration and Change – The Way Forward for
Traffic Regulation Orders: Julian O’Kelly, Head of Technology,

1. Programme Context
The Government’s Industrial Strategy has four Grand Challenges focused on global
trends which will transform our future
The Future of Mobility sets the agenda for how mobility needs to change to be more
efficient, environmentally friendly and sustainable
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data

2. Transport Data Discovery
The North Highland Report commissioned by DfT in 2018, explored the transport
data held by Local Authorities. Its key findings relating to TROs were that:
o TRO data is difficult and time consuming to access, clean and process
o TRO data is not in a standardised, machine readable format
o TROs lack of centralised point of reference
o Private sector organisations are being forced to collected TRO data manually
o The current process for amending and implementing a TRO to be labour
intensive, time and consuming and costly
The report recommended that the DfT sponsor data projects which encourage and
foster better local authority transport services, including streamlining and digitising
Traffic Regulation Orders
That report is in part the context for this current report, presented by GeoPlace to
the Department for Transport
3. TRO Landscape
Over 400 authorities across Great Britain manage traffic in their areas, inform the
public of changes to the road network, give them a democratic opportunity to be
consulted about changes, and publish information about changes to the road
A complex task
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
13 | P a g e
o Creation of an estimated 14,300 permanent Traffic Regulation Orders (TROs)
annually at a projected cost of £62.7m
Authorities also create Temporary Traffic Regulation Orders (TTROs) to facilitate
roadworks and streetworks undertaken by authorities and utilities to maintain vital
infrastructure and provide us with services we all need, and for events
o The number of TTROs created by authorities is estimated at 39,000 at a
projected cost to industry of £63.7m
o Almost 90% of TTROs are attributed to streetworks
4. The TRO Discovery Collaboration
5. Draft Data Model / APDS
3 distinct concepts that the TRO data model needs to support
These tie into the data needs supporting use cases that emerge from the user
research
Concept Theme TRO Data Model
Definition of the legal order Details of the time validity, making, location and conditions of the legal order
Physical implementation Details of the lines and signs
Traffic impact The effect on traffic with time validity, location, effect, conditions
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data

10. Summary of Recommendations
Data
o Explore the technical and legislative mechanisms by which TRO data can be
provided in a consistent format that can be processed digitally
o Explore whether TTRO application data should be made available to utilities
and local authorities to allow them to coordinate early with the work of other
parties
o Explore the mechanism(s) to provide early sight of TRO and TTRO data to
mapmakers
o Assess the need for, value of, and practicalities of delivering restriction
data that is not subject to a TRO
o Explore how data from different processes (such as streetworks permitting
and TTRO application) can be combined to provide more
granular information
o Explore the implications for all parties where the TRO does not match real
world signs and lines
o Examine the quality of TRO and TTRO data required by users for the present
and the future
o Continue to explore the levels of digital maturity within authorities. Identify
the impact on users of various levels of digital maturity and the challenges
associated with increasing digital maturity
o Explore how TRO data can be made open where appropriate
Legislation
o Review the need for the Secretary of State to approve certain TROs to
identify the appropriate scope of this power
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
17 | P a g e
o Review legislation to ensure that the representation of information by Local
Authorities effectively informs people affected by the order
o Review the legislative requirement to advertise in a newspaper
o Review legislation to ensure an appropriate level of consultation for TROs
and TTROs
o Review and determine if legislation for making changes to the road network
can be simplified
Future of Mobility
o Explore whether Dynamic TROs are practicable under the current legislative
system
o Explore ways to demonstrate the value of TRO data to the CAV sector
o Continue engagement to ensure that TRO data meets the needs of the CAV
sector
Consistency
o The British Parking Association (BPA) should release and promote their
guidance document
o Follow up on North Highland recommendations around deceasing costs and
increasing accessibility of TRO’s for all users
o Explore how transparency of TTRO costs can be provided to all applicants
11. Summary of Next Step Activities
The following activities directly address the needs and recommendations identified in
dialogue with 92 organisations over the course of the TRO discovery
1. Initiate pilot activities to assess how the draft Data Model for Traffic Regulation
Order information and data meets user needs
2. Undertake a review of existing legislation to ensure it is fit for purpose, and identify
proposals for future improvements
3. Conduct further research to establish what additional network change data is
required to meet user needs, and consider how it could be made available
4. Conduct further research to establish how current processes associated with TROs
and TTROs can be refined to meet user needs
5. The British Parking Association should release and promote their guidance document
12. TRO Policy Alpha
What is a Policy Alpha?
o Alpha is the chance to try out different solutions to the problems we have
found out about
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
18 | P a g e
o Every idea we present will not necessarily come into force, but each is worth
exploring
What will we be doing?
o Developing a set of initial options based on:
User Needs
Current Frustrations
Societal Changes
Technological Changes
o Testing Initial options via phone interviews, skype interviews and workshops
with people who actually use the process
How can you participate?
o We want to hear from people with real-life expertise of making TROs and
using TRO data
o Please contact [email protected] if you would be interested in
participating in an interview or workshop
Data model piloting
o We are now gearing up to piloting the data model later this year
o We are finalising proposals for working with a number of local authorities
who have expressed an interest in digitising their TROs to:
Validate the model
Ensure it is fit for purpose

3. The Problem
Commercial vehicles cause congestion, poor air quality and poor road safety in our
urban centres
Kerb space is limited which leads to double parking and circling traffic while vehicles
looking to load and unload
Illegal parking leads to fines and safety concerns from pedestrians and cyclists
These concerns are replicated in every city around the world over
9,000 deaths
o In London per annum attributed to poor air quality, with 45,000 deaths per
year across the UK (Kings College, 2015).
227 hours
o Driving time spent per driver in congestion each year in London (INRIX, 2018)
12.5%
o Of London’s area have air pollution levels above the EU legal limit. (NO2
annual mean, 2010)

4. What is Kerb?
Kerb is a real-time, dynamic, intelligent kerbside management solution for cities
o It is ready for market, with global potential
Kerb is an app that gives commercial vehicles the ability to book a Virtual Loading
Bay (VLB) on previously restricted kerb space in the city
Kerb also extends loading times in areas where loading is allowed but time limited
using a Virtual Loading Extension (VLE)
5. Construction Freight Traffic Control
The Construction Freight Traffic Control project aims to specialise the Kerb platform
for the construction sector
Virtual Holding Bays offer the ability for vehicle flow to be optimised, with the bays
pre-agreed between landowners and local authorities, and booked as required or in
advance
6. Benefits of Kerb
Manages kerb-space in busy inner cities removing the risk of penalties for illegal
parking
Saves money for Operators by reducing time and mileage spent searching for
available space, whilst allowing the monetisation of the Borough’s kerb-space
Uses kerb-space on routes that traditionally prohibit loading and unloading – allow
deliveries at difficult locations
Reduces emissions and highway impact of HGVs and encourages more parking
compliance
Enables real time management of commercial vehicle fleets speeding up the delivery
process
Allows all retailers and businesses to schedule their loading and delivery workload
Integrates with Fleet Systems and Parking Enforcement Systems to manage effective
booking information flow
7. Procurement and Adoption
Some difficulty as an SME looking to be procured by local authority and government
Where is the best place to be procured, are certain frameworks more preferable to
others
Death by pilot versus proof, adoption and scale?

9. Market Size
“There is a company in the UK called Grid Smarter Cities that has developed an app
that tracks curb space and allows for reserved curb space for deliveries in certain
areas at certain times of the day. Does it work? I don’t know but it certainly can
work”.
“Revenue? Don Shoup has posted that if half the ‘free’ on street parking space in
New York City were charged at $5.50 an hour, over $3 BILLION in annual revenue
would be generated”
(‘It’s about the Curb’, www.parkingtoday.com)

24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
26 | P a g e
What should be the vision for last mile delivery? What challenges do we have to address
beyond the ones discussed? How should these be prioritised? – GROUP 1
2020 Challenges
o How much empty space is there in vans?
o How much duplication
o Enforcement of a collaborative approach
o Competition in delivery
o Route rationalisation / optimisation
o Delivery costs do not reflect the price paid for a “prime” membership
2030 Challenges
o Quality of our infrastructure
Can it handle developments such as EV
Roads and electricity grid
o Conflict over space
i.e. dedicated delivery / AV lanes in an already congested space
o Lack of funding for implementation of changes
2040 Challenges
o WHO KNOWS?????
How can we address the congestion issue? – GROUP 2
Culture
o Consumers’ behaviour
o Suppliers behaviour
o CC vs same day delivery
Infrastructure
o More consolidation centres and collection points
o Urban vs suburban areas (differences between the two)
Pre-determined delivery slots (overnight)
o More localised network
o Potential for mini warehouses?
Business Model
o Free click and collect
o Some deliveries to have slot pricing, the sooner the delivery the more
expensive
Challenges with click and collect
o Large packages
Technology
o “Uberisation”
o Mobile consolidation fleets
24th September 2019 – TDI #11 – Last Mile Delivery & DfT Data
27 | P a g e
How can we address the congestion issue? – GROUP 3
Tech perspective
o Hardware
o Software
o Data Solutions – developed or prioritised
Business perspective
o Business models to help reduce congestion
o Hubs supported by policy
o “gig” economy
o Combine businesses i.e. Royal Mail
Policy perspective
o What does the government need to do or address?
o Incentives for customers
o Collaborative approach e.g. consolidation centre + business model
o Controlled zoning in city areas
How can we reduce carbon emissions from LMD? – GROUP 4
Identifying the causes of carbon – measure locally, what is impacting this the most?
Do we want to reduce total miles travelled?
Encourage people to buy less?
Addressing
Freight optimisation – off-peak deliveries
Encourage active travel deliveries – walking, cycling etc.
Offsetting emissions – planting trees for the number of deliveries made
Coordination – leveraging Digital Freight Brokerage
o More likely
o More partnership deliveries
Role of big business – set an example
o E.g. Amazon £1 credit for most sustainable route (i.e. 2 days later)
o Will the Greta effect take off?
Air Quality
o Planting trees
o Ultra-low emission zones
Differences between Urban and Rural
EV Charging Infrastructure / Regulation
How can we reduce carbon emissions from LMD? – GROUP 5

28 | P a g e
Delivery vehicles go to central hub in town and stack deliveries from
various companies to deliver to customers
o Use car park level for deliveries to off load and use smaller vehicles / cycles
for deliveries
o Price last mile by auction
o NEED AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE SOFTWARE
Policy issues
o Vehicle routing grazing across network and use of kerb space
o Stagger policy introduction to match technology
o Policy needs to fit technology
o All home deliveries by electric vehicles.
Local authorities could mandate?
o Admission zone charges
o Feedback data, e.g. air quality monitoring outside school. Tell children in
school because 5 came in individual cars.
How can we keep up with ever-evolving consumer demands? – GROUP 6
On one hand we want to reduce or impact on environment
But we have the option to choose faster delivery, not cheaper
Policy wise, politicians respond to consumer demand
What does the government want to achieve?
Is this actually real?
o Where does this come from
o Big assumption not being clearly evidenced (debatable (Tom))
Reinvent the high street
o Focus on place, pedestrianisation, local markets etc.
Re-balance some models
o Use waterways
o Some can be congested (narrow boats etc.)
o Can be good for non-time critical deliveries and to reduce carbon.
Tensions when “pandering” to consumer needs
How can we keep up with ever-evolving consumer demands? – GROUP 7
Trend Analysis:
o 24 hour delivery
o Last mile = 50 miles (regional hub)
