Gulf Traffic is to be a ‘hybrid’ event this year, with both a physical exhibition in Dubai as usual - and an online presence allowing 'digital attendees' to get involved with meetings and conference sessions.

Unlike other events disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, which have either been rescheduled or gone online-only, this is a different approach.

"In these uncertain times, Gulf Traffic has evolved to unite the traffic and transportation industry," said organiser Informa Markets in a statement.

"While you can conect with local attendees through our physical exhibition, you can also connect with global stakeholders through a hybrid event."

It will take place from 15-17 December.

Attendees can log on to Gulf Traffic website or app and conduct meetings though chat and video calls as well as seeing conference sessions.

"Attendees can message and pre-schedule meetings with anyone of interest to you, whether they are in Dubai or at their desk, remotely," Informa says.

All conferences will be live-streamed from the event, and 'digital attendees' can attend sessions live and ask questions, or view other content at a time that suits them.

Route One Publishing, the publisher of ITS International, is the event's official media partner.

Wrong way driving collisions occur relatively infrequently but the results can be devastating. Statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board, an independent, federal all-modes agency, reveal that wrong way (WW) driving, account for only about 3% of accidents on high-speed divided highways but are much more likely to result in fatal and serious injuries.
