- STSG Annual Conference

This year's STSG annual conference with the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT (UK)) addressed how technology is changing transport.  The conference was followed by the CILT (UK) Annual Dinner on 27 September 2007 at Airth Castle in Stirlingshire.

Summary

Over the last 10 years mobile phones have changed how people behave and new transport technology is set to join the revolution.  Real time tracking of parcels and freight is already changing the logistics industry, and vehicle tracking is helping to provide more accurate driver information.  Markets for managing and trading travel and transport information are growing as more companies seek to influence lifestyle choices and purchasing decisions.  

Smart media will help to integrate public transport and create new advertising opportunities.  As smart cards and media are increasingly used for small purchases such as coffees and newspapers, this will also help to integrate transport into the wider economy.
