It is the first time in its 13-year history that the Forum has been held in New Zealand and it is being staged by ITS NZ. Delegates will hear 80 specialist papers delivered over 20 sessions by local and international ITS experts from Europe, the United States and Asia including Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

Some notable topics include the use of static and probabilistic computer learning techniques in TMCs, an overview of Japan’s cooperative ‘ITS Spot’ service launched in 2011 and the emergence of self-learning smartphone apps.  

Registration has opened and the event (which takes the theme Safety, Choices, Opportunities, Results, Efficiencies) is expected to attract government representatives and technical experts as well as infrastructure and transport planning professionals.
