The handbook facilitates the selection and implementation of intelligent transport systems (ITS) solutions to support mobility strategies of large events.

References to ITS suppliers are also included. The Handbook is the result of STADIUM, a broader project co-financed by the European Commission (DG Research and Innovation) designed to promote the optimisation of transport systems, both public and private, around large events using ITS technology while taking all potential users and concerned people into consideration.

In January 2012, the department commissioned Mott MacDonald, supported by the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, and Accent Marketing and Research, to carry out research into valuing the social impacts of public transport. This research has produced a methodology and set of values to estimate the social impacts of local public transport access. It therefore provides new and valuable information to help the department and local authorities better reflect social impacts when they are considering investment in public transport.
