858 ITS Australia’s third biennial Australian Intelligent Transport Systems Summit features a comprehensive program focused on the challenges of Australia's increasingly congested road and public transport infrastructure.

While a full range of ITS technologies will be covered at the conference, to be held on 19-20 September at Australian Technology Park, Sydney, the emphasis is on the solutions delivered and the benefits gained, including case study examples.

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.
