THE ISSUE consortium comprises clusters in the East Midlands Region in the UK, the Midi-Pyrenees and Aquitaine Regions in France, the Molise Region in Italy and the Mazovia Region in Poland. Each cluster is a 'Triple Helix' partnership between business, academia and local/regional authorities with expertise in innovation for traffic management for regional transport policies and practice and environmental impact planning.
Each region has well defined expertise in the application of space and information technologies from telecommunications, remote sensing and satellite location and timing services in transport related sectors.
