Grid Smarter Cities

Having been involved with Grid Smarter Cities for about 8 years it was great to travel to London this week to engage with the team and see what has been in development for a long time be put in to practice across the capital. The virtual loading bay and bookable bays (with smart signs) are going to be a real game changer for managing the Kerbside for commercial traffic across the globe in the near future. Exciting times for this North East founded company.

A great way to reduce emissions and congestion in the West End. Book your loading bay so that you can be sure of getting your deliveries completed on time.

We are excited to announce that our Westminster bookable loading bays are now available to all delivery vehicles. 👏🚚 Our Strategic Partnership Director, Toby Hiles said: “Those in the process of transitioning to EVs commented that they were still facing the lottery of finding a loading spot, when they knew if they could book one using our solution, they’d be able to cut their emissions and fuel costs. Ultimately this reliability is exactly what we’re providing with our bays, so having talked to the council, we’re changing things for the rest of our 18-month pilot.” Find out more about the change to the Westminster trial here: https://bit.ly/3USezrA Are you a business, operator or service provider in the Westminster area?

Great to hear from Anthony Ferguson from the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom at the Transport Technology Forum Autumn Update and seeing they want to ‘move fast and fix things’ in congestion, roadworks and digitisation of traffic orders which are fundamental to improving transport across our towns and cities. We at Grid look forward to continuing working alongside DfT to help make these fixes a reality. If you see our Strategic Partnership Director Toby Hiles today at the event stop by for a chat!

Last night our CEO Neil Herron and Strategic Partnerships Director Toby Hiles attended the annual ITS President’s Dinner & Awards, honouring the hard work in transport technology and innovation. Sarah Sharples FREng, Chief Scientific Advisor at the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom, gave a fantastic keynote speech on the essential role of technology and building a sustainable and safe future for UK transport. Congratulations to all the shortlisted nominees and winners of the evening and a big congrats to Max Sugarman, Steve Norris and the Intelligent Transport Systems UK team for a brilliant night 🎉
