WEBINAR: On The Road to Resilience - Keep Your City Moving

Share

In these unprecedented times, it is paramount that cities are resilient and can adapt their infrastructure to accommodate changes in traveller behaviour.

Many people are now opting for cars, bicycles, or walking instead of using publicly available options, causing an increase in road usage and impacting vulnerable road users, congestion and air pollution.

It’s vital that we limit touchpoints in our public transportation network and effectively communicate the safety and precautionary measures to ensure we alleviate hesitation in utilizing these systems.

Above all, whether it’s public or private modes of transportation, travellers will continue to demand a seamless journey. Transportation technologies are more vital than ever to improve system performance and safety.

How will your city respond? Take a deep dive into transportation’s role in creating resilient cities in this panel webinar presented by Cubic Transportation Systems.

The moderator is Andy Taylor, director of strategy at Cubic Transportation Systems.

Topics may include:

-      Touchless transit
-      Adaptive signal control
-      The use of data for optimization
-      Traveller behaviour
-      Intersection actuation

  • Reducing detection costs benefits intersection management
    February 3, 2012
    The continuing, favourable performance-versus-cost situation concerning detection and monitoring technologies is driving the proliferation of intelligence across road networks. The effective and safe management of intersections is a focus for network operators and systems manufacturers alike. The most complicated of road environments, and statistically among the least safe, intersections enjoy particular emphasis in longer-term work on cooperative infrastructure solutions. However there are current developm

    David Crawford welcomes fresh thinking from Canada. Public transit improvements can bring society “significantly more value” than conventional transport models normally indicate, argues Canadian researcher Todd Litman. “Traditional evaluation practices originally developed to assess roadway improvements, and focus primarily on vehicle travel speeds and operating costs. “They do not generally quantify or monetise basic mobility benefits, vehicle ownership and parking cost savings, or efficient land developme
  • Development of cooperative driving applications for work zones
    July 17, 2012
    The German AKTIV project is researching several cooperative driving applications for use in work zones. PTV's Michael Ortgiese details progress. The steep increases in traffic volumes predicted back in the early 1990s have unfortunately been proven to be more than accurate. In Germany, the AKTIV project continues to look into cooperative technologies' potential to reduce the impact of those increased traffic volumes and keep traffic moving despite limitations in infrastructure capacity.

    In June, ITS Taiwan will host the 11th ITS Asia Pacific Forum and Exhibition. Dr. Bert J. Lim, president of the World Economics Society and a member of the local organising committee, provides an insight to ITS development in the country. Many of the thought-provoking issues he raises could be applied equally to most countries around the world. Governments need to assume a far greater leadership role, not just in ITS R&D, but also ITS deployment. In the case of Taiwan, it is time for the Ministry of Transpo
