Kapsch TrafficCom’s David Bolt, VP Sales and Solution Consulting for the APAC region, will provide an update for attendees on how the Kapsch and AIMES Intelligent Corridor project is going and explain six defined use cases focused on congestion management and improving road safety. The project was launched by Kapsch TrafficCom in March of this year together with the University of Melbourne and the Victorian Department of Transport (DOTVic), supported by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage grant from the Federal Government.
Coordination is the key to successful integrated corridor management, argues Telegra’s chief operating officer, Branko Glad. The Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) has calculated that in 2013, traffic congestion cost American citizens $124 billion ($78 billion of wasted time and fuel and $45 billion in indirect losses). In 2030 this figure is predicted to rise to $186 billion.
