Australia will welcome international experts working at the leading edge of intelligent transport systems to speak at the ITS Summit to be held at the Australian Technology Park in Sydney from 18 to 20 September 2013.

The international input will add value to progress the Summit's key objective to formulate a national vision for ITS in Australia. 858 ITS Australia Chief Executive Officer Susan Harris said the aim is to define a plan with a core set of transport priorities broadly acknowledged across all government jurisdictions, which are actively supported by both the research community and the private sector.

"Building on previous national Summits, the 2013 event will focus on the National ITS Action Agenda plus update the current status of ITS in Australia and debate the challenges facing the ITS industry in the current climate," said Susan Harris.

Keynote speakers include: Dr Peter Sweatman, ITS America Board Chair and Director of the 5647 University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute; Martin Matthews, New Zealand Ministry of Transport Chief Executive; Hajime Amano, 556 ITS Japan President and CEO; Prof SK Jason Chang, Professor, National Taiwan University and ITS Taiwan Vice President; Dr Reinhard Pfliegl, ITS Vienna 2012 and 19th 6456 ITS World Congress, 4793 AustriaTech Chair; and Craig Moran, General Manager Traffic Management, New South Wales Department of 6722 Roads and Maritime Services.
