Event details
The Internet of Cars distributed exhibition and symposium is the culmination of a three year research project entitled Sixth Sense Transport and the work of its research team that has developed technologies to help understand the potential for new forms of networked transport. The themes presented in the symposium reflect the researchers’ interests in how networked technology can help inform and reveal new opportunities for travel.
The title of the event "The Internet of Cars", represents the possible futures that ubiquitous computing may have for new travel opportunities as networked technology finds connections between people, routes and both public and private modes of travel. To this day, transport systems remain tied to the 19 th Century model of clocks and timetables but as the real-time connections between ourselves, our cars, buses and trains are made, we are beginning to see new ways of getting around emerge. The symposium brings together academics, transport experts and other interested parties to explore what an Internet of Cars might be like.
