ITSAustralia-Signing-001ITS Australia is showing off the best of the nation’s transport technology at the ITS World Congress, with the largest delegation ever to attend an overseas congress.

Singapore is also the stage for ITS Australia to seal a deal with Queensland’s Department for Transport and Main Roads to become the premier partner for the Asia Pacific Forum for 2020.

The AP Forum runs in years when the ITS World Congress is not in Asia Pacific and next year’s event, the 17th, sees a big increase in the amount of participation from North American and Europe with submissions coming from 18 countries around the world.

Susan Harris, CEO of ITS Australia, says the new-look AP Forum will provide delegates with a far more global view of the latest projects, products and services.

Running from 25-28 May in Brisbane, the Forum’s topics include Mobility as a Service (MaaS), environmental sustainability, data analytics, AI for transport, accessible transport, connected and autonomous vehicles and networks, Internet of Things and transport pricing/tolling, as well as policy standards and harmonisation.

At its presence in Singapore, ITS Australia is sharing the pavilion with some of the most innovative companies in the sector, including Cisco, which is displaying its latest range of hardware products and validated designs for transport.

Also on the Australian Pavilion, connected autonomous vehicle technology specialist Cohda Wireless is displaying a range of its hardware solutions including its new MK6C EVK: Cellular-V2X Evaluation Kit.

Australian Integrated Multimodal Ecosystem (AIMES) is highlighting its multimodal testing ecosystem which covers 6km2 and more than 100km of local and arterial roads and freeways, while traffic data providers Intelematics is exhibiting an interactive data-visualisation portal that provides context around the mass-movement of people and vehicles.
