From early sat nav to connected vehicles: 40 Years of ITS innovation with Andy Graham MBE

This week on Highways Voices we talk to one of the intelligent transport industry's leading experts about everything from early sat-navs and traffic data collection to the latest in connected vehicles, and how to still be pushing the industry forward after 40 years.

Andy Graham MBE is our guest, and we talk about his appearance in the King's New Year Honours, and what it means to him, and then you'll hear what he has to say about networks, operations, policy, digital transformation and customer outcomes. This episode speaks directly to a challenge you’ll recognise: how to turn data and technology into safer, more efficient transport, without getting trapped by legacy systems, fragmented standards, or the slow pace of change.

In the chat you'll hear his view of how traffic data, connected vehicles, and digital services have come on over his career, and what still needs to change to unlock better outcomes, plus hear some reminiscences he has with host Paul Hutton about their time working on a series of projects, and how their paths almost crossed ten years before the first worked together.

There are insights into why data-sharing, standards, and cross-industry collaboration often determine whether innovation succeeds or stalls, and how cyber security and privacy should influence future technology strategy and investment.
