The future of transport – improving journeys through data (roundtable sponsored by AWS)

In an era marked by rapid changes in the transportation sector, technology is emerging as the catalyst for progress, delivering game-changing capabilities to transform the passenger experience, enhance traditional revenue models and take meaningful steps towards a more sustainable future.

Data stands as the cornerstone of this transformation, with the transportation domain poised to experience substantial benefits from widespread adoption of modern data techniques and the advances in AI and Machine Learning. The industry is increasingly embracing their data to streamline network management, transform their modelling and provide better experiences for passengers.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborates closely with transportation organisations in the UK, including Transport for West Midlands, Transport for Greater Manchester, Transport for London, Manchester Airport Group, DVLA, DVSA, among several others, to craft innovative data solutions that put citizens & sustainability at the centre. As both a provider of technology, and an operator on the UK’s transport network, Amazon is committed to collaborating with the wider transportation sector to deliver meaningful change across the whole system.
