The TRICS Consortium and 1466 Transport for London (TfL) are pleased to announce the imminent merging of the TRICS and TRAVL systems, for the first time providing professionals in the transport planning and development management industry with a single, unified resource for trip generation analysis in the capital.

Effective from 1 April 2014, coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the launch of the TRICS project, key elements of the TRAVL database will be contained within a new data export facility live on the web, available to all TRICS member organisations once logged in to the TRICS website. Use of the full TRAVL system will be discontinued a few weeks later, whilst the TRAVL Bureau Service will continue to be available for a period of time providing plenty of time for TRAVL members to switch over to TRICS and enjoy the benefits of having access to two systems in one location, with all data being fully endorsed by Transport for London.

This merger is the result of successful discussions between the TRICS consortium, Transport for London and 5602 Systra, who have been maintaining and developing the TRAVL system for a number of years and who will continue to provide the TRAVL Bureau Service for an interim period following the merger.

In recent years, digitisation and IP-based communication networks have allowed Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to achieve ever-greater utility and a commensurate increase in deployments. But where does the technology go next - indeed, does it have a future in the face of the increasing use of, for instance, Dedi

    A connective corridor in Syracuse, New York State, could be a model for other post-industrial cities, as David Crawford discovers. The aim of the city of Syracuse’ 5.6km-long Connective Corridor in Onandaga County in upstate New York is to create a model ‘complete street’ for use in wider regeneration schemes. Key transport-sector components are traffic calming, high-quality transit with accessible passenger information, plus walkability and bike-friendliness.

You can take Uber to the nearest light-rail station or a bus to the commuter line. Then on the other end of your trip, you can book a bikeshare the rest of the way to your office. For many who live in major metropolitan areas around the US this is a distinct reality as new ways to move from Point A to Point B continue to

    Citizen reporting offers the potential of gathering timely information about road conditions without the need to invest heavily in equipment or to dispatch inordinate numbers of staff to visit and report from various locations. What could be better than an army of motorists and other road users sending in reports of conditions they encounter on their journeys? Back in 2003, Wyoming DOT set up a system of enhanced citizen-assisted reporting as a way of gathering weather-related information on road conditi
