This week’s Highways Voices podcast guest is Andy Graham MBE, one of the intelligent transport industry’s leading experts. Andy talks about everything from early sat-navs and traffic data collection to the latest in connected vehicles, and how to still be pushing the industry forward after 40 years.
You’ll hear about his appearance in the King’s New Year Honours, and what it means to him, as well as what he has to say about networks, operations, policy, digital transformation and customer outcomes. This episode speaks directly to a challenge you’ll recognise: how to turn data and technology into safer, more efficient transport, without getting trapped by legacy systems, fragmented standards, or the slow pace of change.
In the chat you’ll hear Andy’s view of how traffic data, connected vehicles, and digital services have come on over his career, and what still needs to change to unlock better outcomes, plus hear some reminiscences he has with host Paul Hutton about their time working on a series of projects, and how their paths almost crossed ten years before the first worked together.
There are insights into why data-sharing, standards, and cross-industry collaboration often determine whether innovation succeeds or stalls, and how cyber security and privacy should influence future technology strategy and investment.
