5G in Transport & Logistics: Moving People
Watch this webinar from UK5G and KTN to explore what 5G ‘smart transport’ is, and how it could benefit your organisation, customer experience and the transport sector’s environmental impact.
5G provides a layer of insight not previously possible for smarter transport. Its high bandwidth capability enables a greater density of sensors, meaning more data – and with machine learning – better and faster insights and analysis. Monitoring occupancy levels on public transport facilitates dynamic scheduling, improving passenger experiences and optimising costs, while smart rerouting can minimise delays and environmental impacts. Feeding useful real time information to people enhances the driver and passenger experience.
Webinar recording is now available
Join us to learn about the hows and whys of 5G ‘smart transport’ from those who’ve implemented it on the ground. This event will be of interest to anyone concerned with the better, cleaner movement of people.

About the Events
By rail, road, sea, inland waterways or air, the transport and logistics sectors are the linchpins that keep the UK moving. As an island nation, the movement of goods is critical to our economy, with imports and exports worth £48bn and £51bn annually, respectively. Moving people in 2019 clocked up 873 billion passenger kilometres. These figures have taken a knock in the wake of the pandemic and with the sectors’ return to pre-pandemic levels comes a considerable set of challenges. The post-COVID, post-Brexit world is ever more complex, with shifting consumer demands and behaviours, rising costs and shrinking margins. Add to this, the sectors’ need to address its status as the UK’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases (prior to the pandemic).
To succeed and thrive, organisations need to become more resilient, agile and productive. 5G – and the digital technologies it powers – can be the key to unlocking a more efficient, sustainable future for transport and logistics.
This series of events will explore where 5G is making a difference in Transport & Logistics.
