About the session

The M25 and routes into London and many towns can come to a standstill in busy periods, yet simply building more roads is expensive and strongly opposed by local residents and environmental groups. "Doing nothing" is not an option, but can we get smarter? The speaker discusses how engineers and technology can help to satisfy demand in an economically, socially and politically acceptable way.
