Today, Tim will be attending the “Data, driven” event at the RAC Foundation to present work from UWE’s Motor vehicle Ownership and Trends in the UK (MOT) project www.MOTproject.net, alongside project colleagues Prof. Jillian Anable, Dr Sally Cairns and Prof. Eddie Wilson.
The event is launching a new report from the project that has been commissioned by the RAC Foundation. The report, MOToring along: The lives of cars seen through licensing and test data, presents a vibrant and colourful look at some of the huge range of information and knowledge that the project has extracted from the MOT vehicle test data recent.y released by the Department for Transport (who were also project partners). This event marks a soft launch of the report, prior to its full public launch next week.
In addition to today’s event at the RAC Foundation, Tim, Sally and Eddie also attended a workshop yesterday at the Department of Transport to provide support on the government’s work to use the MOT dataset to produce offical vehicle mileage statistics.
