Bob Deiter, vice president of strategic opportunities, 378 Cubic Transportation Systems (CTS), will participate in a panel discussion on transportation and mobility in smart cities at the World Smart City Forum 2016 to be held in Singapore today.

The conference will bring together experts and industry leaders to discuss the top “pain points” slowing the development of smart cities and explore the potential for efficiency gains when cities are physically and virtually connected. At the event, Deiter will discuss ways to improve mobility through smart transportation technology.  

“With technological disruptors like mobile apps driving rapid change in transportation, agencies and governments are being challenged to adapt policy and legislation to embrace technology gains, while ensuring open access and protection of personal information,” Deiter said. “Cubic has learned many lessons while implementing transportation systems and services for some of the world’s most renowned transport authorities. However, the most important lesson is to continuously collaborate with the authorities and travellers to drive innovation.”
