Following the success of<br />
Tees Valley’s pilot portal,<br />
delivered by <strong>Steer</strong> <strong>Davies</strong><br />
<strong>Gleave</strong> in 2008, we were<br />
commissioned to extend the<br />
site functionality to include<br />
an enhanced journey planner<br />
tool and user-customisable<br />
content. A simplified version<br />
of the journey planner<br />
was developed for smart<br />
phone platforms, providing<br />
multimodal journey planning<br />
tools and real-time information<br />
displayed via interactive maps.<br />
An enhanced interactive<br />
drive map incorporated live<br />
travel information from the<br />
UK Highways Agency. It is<br />
expected that this page will<br />
soon include information<br />
from a new UTMC common<br />
database to display wider<br />
highways related information<br />
such as car park occupancy,<br />
journey time on local roads,<br />
VMS signs, local road-works<br />
and CCTV. All of this data will<br />
be delivered by XML<br />
A new ‘Have your say’<br />
section was added to the<br />
website to incorporate an<br />
online consultation facility<br />
for transport schemes.<br />
This includes a discussion<br />
forum, and will soon contain<br />
downloadable consultation<br />
documents and scheme<br />
information.<br />
An automated events system<br />
was produced to allow the<br />
quick and easy updating<br />
of upcoming events in the<br />
Tees Valley area. We worked<br />
closely with Visit Tees Valley<br />
to build an ‘iFrame’ that shows<br />
customised events. This was<br />
accompanied by a detailed<br />
user document with screen<br />
shots to outline how to use the<br />
new features.<br />
A Twitter feed and Facebook<br />
page was set up on behalf<br />
of the client. This is currently<br />
used to disseminate updates<br />
on public transport service<br />
updates to the general public.
