The operation of smart motorways is a subset of broader transport operations and relies on complex organisational arrangements with highly specialised capabilities to manage a growing number of assets, follow a wide range of operational scenarios,…

Best Practice in Smart Motorways Operations provides transport agencies with a set of guidelines and supporting information for motorway integration, operations and management capabilities. The document serves to promote best practice, centred…

Movement and Place is a multi-disciplinary, place-based approach to the planning, design, delivery and operation of transport networks. It broadens our thinking about our roads and streets beyond their functional role in supporting movement - they…
