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.

The Aimsun Online real-time decision support system for traffic management is taking centre stage at the TSS-Transport Simulation Systems (TSS) stand. Its dynamic, high-speed simulation of large areas allows traffic operators to accurately forecast the future network flow patterns that will result from a particular traffic management or information provision strategy. TSS is highlighting the fact that, among other projects, Aimsun Online has been selected as the simulation-based subsystem in the decision su
Germany company Dresden Elektronik is showcasing its deZign electronic timetabling technology for the first time here at Intertraffic. Using flexible plastic displays from Plastic Logic, the monochrome deZign display allows traditional paper timetables to be replaced at the push of a button. The solution is robust, daylight-readable and low power – fixed content requires no power, while text changes require only minimal energy.
Intertraffic Amsterdam 2016 ended last week on an all time high, according to the organisers, who say that the variety of companies, presentations, innovations and record numbers through the doors all combined to create an exciting and interesting event.
According to Intertraffic product manager Joyce de Winter, close to 800 companies from 47 countries exhibited and a record grand total of 30,104 visitors from 134 countries worldwide attended. 4,700 participants took part in the knowledge programme overa
The image projection technology used in most movie theatres is coming soon to an auto near you. Texas Instruments features a prototype extra large, automotive head up display (HUD) demonstrating digital light processing (DLP) technology. The prototype enables a field of view up to 12 degrees, more than double the traditional HUDs on the market today.
“DLP enables a HUD to display more information,” said Alan Rankin, business development manager, DLP automotive solutions, Texas Instruments. The larger di
