Seeing is Believing offers excellent opportunities for networking and discussion with people from across the industry
shows like this as playing an important part in educating the sector.” TRL (Transport Research Laboratory)
will act as test partners for live trials. Trials on the luminosity of road mark-
ings and sign visibility as well as the first UK demonstration of INROADS active road studs and cost saving methods of undertaking your highways inventory will all take place in the new TRL Trial Zone. There’ll be demonstrations of cameras,
radar, safety systems and sensors all in these real-world conditions. “Seeing is Believing has established a
unique and professional way of develop- ing the links between the supply sector and highway and traffic practitioners” says Richard Hayes, former President of the Institute of Highway Engineers. “By creating real situations and hands on access to new products it permits the maximum benefits to be demon- strated. The event provides one of the best opportunities for collaboration and networking”. The location is also easy to get to, being
close to the M1/M6/A14 junction in the Heart of England. The exhibition hall is beside a large,

dedicated car park, with frequent mini- buses taking visitors to the various out- door demonstrations. Organisations are also taking advan-
tage of the test track for their own research and development work at the event, so visitors can see real life prod- uct improvements happen before their eyes. Gill Stephens of the Highways Agency
says the HA supports Seeing is Believing: “in its aims to encourage awareness and understanding of the innovative prod-

ucts, technology and methodologies that maximise safety and free-flowing traffic on motorways and roads effectively and efficiently.”
