**Background** Railway companies have introduced zone marking on some station platforms to assist passenger boarding; although it is not clear that the way this is currently implemented is either understood by passengers or proving effective. Consequently, passengers are frequently not distributed optimally along the platform; and this results in congesti...

Without an operating system, computers would be much less useful. Before the invention of operating systems, computers could only run one calculation at a time. All tasks had to be scheduled by hand. Operating systems automate the scheduling of tasks and make sure that resources such as memory and disk space are allocated properly. Because operating syste...

The Greater Manchester Local Energy Market (GM LEM) project forms a key part of the city region's plans for decarbonisation, set out in the '5 Year Environment Plan for Greater Manchester' and complemented by the Greater Manchester's Smart Energy Plan, together these enable GM Mayor Andy Burnham's target for a zero carbon emissions city region by 2038 ann...

"The ultimate aim of ServCity is to reduce private car journeys in urban areas by providing a reliable autonomous mobility service. By doing so, the consortium aims to solve urban challenges around congestion and emissions and, propose a blueprint for future Automated Mobility Services (AMS). This project demonstrates UK capabilities and technologies to a...

"Decentralisation of heat, power and energy generation to areas of local usage provides the opportunity for more efficient use of resources (both energy and network infrastructure) -- if the needs of the different vectors are balanced against one another. Bridgend County Borough provides a replicable use case for developing a concept of balancing local en...

"The Greater Manchester Local Energy market (LEM) project will test the feasibility of a GM region wide local energy market which responds to \`place-based' constraints and market needs. The key driver for the project is to enable and increase the flexibility in the energy distribution network through: novel management tools (including building management...

The project will build an autonomous vehicle with human like, natural control / path planning, by 2019, that 1) is able to be fully autonomous on country roads, when overtaking, on roundabouts and/ or motorways 2) mimics the driving behaviour of human beings, to provide an enhanced experiences for the occupants. Nissan and Hitachi will use their global au...
