Hosted by ITS Australia in partnership with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads, the ITS Summit on Connected Autonomy in Smart Cities takes place on 23-24 May at the Queensland University of Technology.

The growing international focus on smart cities where transport, utilities and healthcare communicate with each other to allow coordination and reduce waste, is a key driver for the provision of intelligent infrastructure across the road network. Such initiatives are being actively pursued by local government across South East Queensland to enhance the quality and efficiency of services.

There are already vehicles on Australian roads that can undertake a limited form of self-driving and vehicles are increasingly becoming connected, with huge volumes of data being generated on-board and through road infrastructure.

Such advances are expected to play a critical role in safety and congestion, enabling smarter, cleaner transport.
