Director of Urban Transport,
MVA Consultancy, UK
John Baggaley has been involved in the planning and implementation of major multi-modal urban transport systems in the UK and overseas for over 25 years, working for both operators and co-ordinating authorities. He has had practical experience of the implementation and subsequent operation of such systems in both the UK and Asian contexts. This experience has given him a clear appreciation of the issues that are critical to the success (financial and otherwise) of such systems and inter-dependencies between the component modes and operators.
He is an experienced interpreter of transport model results, for both forecasting and appraisal, ranging from single mode models (West Yorkshire rail network) through large public transport models (Singapore bus and rail network) to full multi-modal models (Transport Model for Scotland). As a result of this long experience of model use, John has a particular skill in the interpretation of the model outputs for a non-technical audience.
In recent years John has played a significant role in the development of the UK rail network, through advice to bidders for rail franchises and the promotion of infrastructure investment in Scotland.

Douglas Connor started his first business in 1969 and has been an entrepreneur in science, technology and finance for most of his career. In 1990 he formed the Rudyerd group, a business which uses state of the art scientific methods to trade automatically in financial markets. Then in 1997 he started the Legion group, a supplier of scientific software which models the effect of pedestrian/passenger behaviour on the design and/or operation of public infrastructure (eg: rail/metro stations or airport terminals). Douglas has been Chairman of both groups since their formation.
Douglas also founded and is Director General of the Maia Institute, the research organisation which developed the science behind Rudyerd’s systems and Legion’s software products. The Maia Institute has expertise in understanding and modelling the behaviour of complex systems where collective behaviour (eg: of crowds of people in a railway station or large numbers of participants in a market) emerges from the behaviour of each of many intelligent individuals (eg: pedestrians/passengers).
By developing a scientific understanding of pedestrian behaviour Douglas has made it possible for the transport industry to deliver more passenger throughput in stations and terminals for a given investment in infrastructure often while delivering a higher quality experience for the users.
