A CIHT London Region Event
(Members from all Regions of CIHT are welcome to attend London Region Events.)
Date: Tuesday 5th September 2017
Time: 18:00 for 18:20 start
Venue: Bird Street
Nearest Tube: Bond Street
Subject: Bird Street – Transport Technology
On June 29 Pavegen launched its latest installation at Bird Street, which runs off Oxford Street, in Europe’s busiest shopping district. Commissioned by the New West End Company and Transport for London, a 20 square metres array of our award-winning V3 technology is the centre piece of what has been billed the ‘world’s first smart street’.
The kinetic energy of visitors’ footsteps is being converted into electricity to power bird sounds during the day and a lighting display at night, providing visitors with instant feedback and a more immersive shopping experience.
In conjunction with CIHT London, key players from Pavegen will be discussing how their technology works, where it could be installed and how the technology could help Highway and Transport professionals enhance the sustainability and future thinking of their projects. As ever, there will be a Q&A after the talk.
Please note that this event will occur outdoors, as a result there are no facilities or refreshments provided by the CIHT, and please ensure you are prepared for unpredictable weather.
