Australia’s 2017 National electronic Tolling Forum (NeTC), Converging Smarter Tolling Technologies, which takes place in Sydney on 23-25 May, will address the challenges and opportunities faced by the tolling industry and their impact on business and personal mobility.

858 ITS Australia, hosts of the 2016 6456 ITS World Congress and the NeTC Forum, is inviting the ITS and transport industries to submit abstracts for consideration by the Program Committee, ahead of the meeting.

Now in its 12th year, the NeTC Forum is an industry event for government agencies, toll road owners and operators, infrastructure providers, policy makers and equipment, system and technology providers.

More than 120 traffic and transport professionals attend the annual meeting, with presentations by Australian and international speakers.

ITS Australia CEO Susan Harris said user pay services, congestion management and road tolling is an ongoing discussion affecting all road users. “One of the hot topics during the World Congress was road user charging. Any potential future change away from the current fuel-excise based system would greatly impact governments, agencies, industry and users.

“The 2017 NeTC Forum will be an opportunity to continue this discussion and provide a platform for diverse industry partners and competitors to come together and explore ways to make Australia’s road network safer and more productive,” she said.

Submission deadline for abstracts is 12 December 2016.
Early Bird registrations for the conference open in February 2017.

    UK drivers could be banned from using phones in hands-free mode, following a suggestion from MPs. The House of Commons Transport Select Committee has said that current UK law creates the “misleading impression” that the use of hands-free phones is a safe driving practice. However, there is increasing evidence to show that hands-free usage “creates the same risks of collision as using a hand-held device,” say the law-makers. In its latest report, Road Safety: driving while using a mobile phone, the
