Overview

Background & policy context:

There are potentially dozens of new technologies, which will affect transport in the next two decades. Thus a structured approach is necessary, to permit coverage of important and relevant technologies across all modes and allow for more in-depth investigation of perceived critical issues, identified in advance.

Objectives:

HINT aimed to develop a European strategy for managing the human and organisational impacts of the new technologies, mainly in passenger transport, likely to be implemented over the next 10-20 years.

The main objectives of HINT were to:

identify the relevant technologies covering all modes of transport (road, rail, air and waterborne) as well as intermodal transport services;
investigate the human factors, organisational and safety implications of relevant technologies utilising integrated cross-modal studies (by topic) to allow for generic findings;
develop a strategy for managing those impacts of new technologies.
