Project Description:<\/strong><\/p>\n

6th Sense Transport<\/a> investigates the feasibility of a social, spatial and temporal synthesis offered through locative media interventions, which situates users in a networked moment to make visible those transport sharing opportunities which have the capacity to reduce the number of fossil fuelled trips and associated carbon emissions while simultaneously influencing health-related quality of life measures.<\/p>\n

The 6th Sense research vision is to understand the extent to which behavioural change in transport habits and practices can be facilitated through the creation of a new form of \u2018transport network\u2019, based on extending social networking principles to transport users and their individual vehicles. Underpinned by relevant models and theories about behaviour change and assisted by technology, it will develop and encourage acceptance of an innovative, open, extensible technical platform called 6th\u00a0Sense Transport (6ST), providing users from different time \u2018typologies\u2019 with new ways of understanding the relationships between their own future transport plans and those of others.<\/p>\n

The novelty\u00a0and adventure\u00a0of the research lie in:<\/p>\n
