Exploration of Sector Level Roadmaps Introduction The existing Foresight Vehicle Technology Roadmap v.2 (2004) was developed to identify technology and research themes for road transport in the UK Aim was to support UK industry in a global market for transport products in order to provide sustainable mobility for UK citizens The updated roadmap (v.3) aims to provide further guidance for academia, government and the business community using a web-based platform
Exploration of Sector Level Roadmaps User Communities Sector technology community – knowledge sharing Academia – research guidance Government – intervention, legislation Business community – investment guidance Knowledge Transfer Networks – audits of technology development against need
Exploration of Sector Level Roadmaps Research Process Data collected from a series of participatory workshops Review and update information from v.2 roadmap Technology opportunities and gaps were identified Targets, barriers and timing of technology introduction were all revised as appropriate Technology issues were ranked by a voting process
