Highways Voices 10 July - a flavour of the LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival

Join Highways Voices on a whistle-stop tour of last week's LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival in Coventry, as we hear expertise across the road maintenance, safety, EV and mobility industries.

In the first of two podcasts from the event, we hear how LCRIG and the Rees Jeffreys Road Fund are working together to support career development for people in our industry, before JCB give an explanation of their latest machine used to dramatically improve the efficiency of pothole repair.

We discuss one of the demonstrations at the Festival, with VESOS, Coventry City Council, Haas Alert and Skyfarer improving responses to road crashes by pairing eCall and Drone technology, then we learn about a clean onsite energy solution with Levett Business Services and Kerbocharge's clever way to deliver EV charging to people who live in homes without a driveway.

Finally we take a ride in an Ohmio driverless pod, learning that the technology is no longer something of the future, but being delivered here and now.

The busy LCRIG Innovation and Learning Festival is an indoor-outdoor event bringing local authorities and the supply chain together over two days. There was so much to see and do that we'll be bringing you more from that event next week.
