Dr John Miles has particular expertise in transport planning, transport research and public policy development, including experience in the development of government policies, leading European projects and of directing a large operational team. He brings 40 years’ experience in research, policy development and innovative projects in integrated transport.
Since 1988 John has been working with senior officials, politicians and stakeholders to deliver effective policies for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) in the road transport sector. Intelligent Transport Systems involve the application of information and communication technologies to transport operations with the objective of obtaining safety and efficiency gains of one kind or another.
John specialises in the organisational and institutional aspects of ITS, including public-private partnerships. He concentrates on the evaluation of policy options, organisational capability, inter-agency working and the management of change.
In 2008 John was given an award for excellence by ITS United Kingdom for his contribution to the development and outreach of Intelligent Transport Systems.
