We are excited to release the timetable for our highly anticipated CPD-certified technical training sessions which will take place at the Innovation and Learning Festival in July. These sessions offer a unique opportunity to widen your knowledge in the highways and transport technology sector while earning valuable CPD points.
About the Technical Training Sessions
Hosted in our all-new Technical Learning Theatre, these 15-minute sessions will be delivered by industry experts who will share research, innovative technologies, and practical insights through informative and engaging presentations. Each session is designed to provide you with actionable knowledge and skills that you can apply directly in your professional role.
What You Will Learn
Our comprehensive programme covers a wide range of topics, including:
Asset Management: Learn about the latest advancements in highway data collection and the benefits of applying a risk-based approach to road markings maintenance.
AI and Connected Vehicles: Find out how pavement condition and asset data collection using AI and connected vehicle technology can achieve efficiencies in data collection.
Green Estate: Discover how tree risk management is revolutionising tree asset inventory collection and the benefits of remote sensing technology.
Ironworks: Learn how to overcome the common causes of access cover failures and the benefits of implementing a risk-based strategy for managing street ironwork.
Low Carbon Road Maintenance: Hear from industry experts about the latest advancements in road materials and applications such as asphalt preservation, geosynthetics, incinerator bottom ash aggregate, pavement recycling, mastic asphalt and graphene enhanced asphalt.
Road Markings: Learn about the transition to new innovative more sustainable rapid-curing MMA cold applied solutions.
Road Safety: Discover the science behind harsh braking and the new tools available to understand high-risk areas.
Traffic Signs: Learn about cost effective measures for collision reduction and the benefits of vehicle activated signs and roadside detector technology.
Traffic Management: Understand how to select the appropriate technology to minimise delays during junction improvements.
UAV Drone Mapping: Explore the practical use of drone / UAV mapping and the data that can be created to support highway planning and maintenance.
Winter Maintenance: Learn how IOT weather stations are transforming winter maintenance, providing solutions to challenges faced by operators and enhancing road safety and operational efficiency.
Each session will be CPD certified by our industry partner, the Institute of Highways Engineers (IHE), and is open to all delegates.
Steve Spender, President of the Institute of Highway Engineers (IHE) emphasises the importance of these sessions: “The Institute of Highway Engineers is extremely proud to be supporting the LCRIG Innovation & Learning Festival which is a must attend event for local authorities seeking to keep abreast of highway maintenance and transport technology issues. To recognise the importance of the event, the Institute is CPD accrediting these technical training sessions.”
