The UTSG Electronic Mailing List
An Email based mailing list has been established by the Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG). The list provides an electronic discussion forum and information resource for researchers in the field of transport primarily, but not exclusively, in the academic community.
The list was established in October 1993, and has a steadily growing membership, including researchers in all continents of the World.
The aim of the list is to facilitate information sharing, (e.g. news of new research, conferences, seminars and workshops) and to promote links, collaborative working, joint problem-solving and mutual support. Depending on the level of usage of the list and on demand, sub-lists may be set up in the future for special interests or particular types of information.
The list is administered by the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. It is one of several hundred lists managed by the JISCmail facility funded by the Higher and Further Education Councils of the UK.

http://explore.tandfonline.com/cfp/pgas/ttrv-cfp-longterm-implications-auto-vehic
About a century ago, private vehicles started being massively introduced into western societies.

Automated driving technology is likely to bring substantial changes in future urban mobility.

The rise of shared mobility, manifested by services such as car-sharing,

The world’s population growth and increasing concentration of populations
in urban areas have allowed underground transport to become an appealing
solution to urbanisation problems, such as land shortage, traffic
congestion, air and noise pollution, and environmental deterioration. To
date, many cities have developed various underground transport systems,
including underground railway (subway) systems, underground roads and
expressways, underground pedestrian systems, underground freight transport,
underground car parks and, more recently, the underground components of
high-speed rail networks. [...]

This one-day conference is about traffic-removal, pedestrianisation and traffic filtering. Its focus is practical, on the benefits but also on the challenges: the political opposition, the technical problems, and how some authorities are overcoming them. It will hear from the people leading traffic removal projects today in: London, Leicester, Cambridge, and Taunton. It will hear from a developer about the potential for new housing in traffic-free areas and it will finish with smaller workshop sessions, to exchange experience of what works, what doesn’t and how these leading cities have overcome barriers and opposition to make it all happen.
