TPS is pleased to announce the launch Transport Planning Day 2024.
See all the current vacancies.
Open to all those studying or working in transport planning, or related fields, on a professional basis.
The Transport Systems Catapult (TSC) created an engagement tool called the Manchester Table in 2014 and has been using this tool to engage with visitors ever since
https://ts.catapult.org.uk/manchester-smart-table
One of the capabilities of the table is to allow users, through an engaging user interface, to interact with a strategic transport model of Manchester. During pre-programmed customer journeys, special pucks can be moved over a touchscreen representing different events (e.g. road works, park and ride schemes, increasing train or bus frequency) and the effects can be seen and quantified. A video of the demo can be found here

Throughout the TSC’s first year we have had a lot of positive feedback from our visitors about the Manchester Table and we are considering initiating some collaborative research to develop an Intelligent Mobility Table (IMT) to create a commercially available product.
A vital part of the project is to understand the end user’s requirements. We therefore need your feedback to understand what an IMT needs to do to be really useful and how much LAs might consider spending on such a tool. If you could spare just 5 minutes of your time to answer 14 questions, please can you complete the following survey:
