says:

Published last year by TRL, this robust report “augments the guidance provided by the Government Office for Science by providing an extended palette of systems thinking tools whose use has been demonstrated in the transport sector and transport safety.”
The report incorporates an analysis of 91 studies that included the application of ‘systems tools’ across different transport modes.
“The key take-away of our investigation is that systems thinking has far more to do with mindset when approaching a problem than the tools that can be used when solving it…..The motivation to use systems thinking is to accelerate cost-effective delivery and maximise the safety benefits as quickly as practicable.”
“We recommend more focus on what works for transport safety and, where appropriate, shared learning and application of successes.”
