The two day event offers Australian and international ITS experts, discussion forums, and exhibitions and demonstrations of state of the art transport solutions. The 300 attendees will represent government authorities, transport and infrastructure operators and investors, vehicle and systems manufacturers, safety and environment bodies, academics and the ITS industry.

Among the topics will be traffic management, collision risk reduction, environmental benefits, variable road user charging, public transport multimodal operations, and others.
