Three 4983 Parsons Brinckerhoff transport specialists will present at the Australian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Summit in Sydney on 18-20 September.

Parsons Brinckerhoff ITS Technical Executive, Kim Thomas, said the specialists will stimulate discussion about systems engineering and how to develop smarter transport solutions that make road operations safer and more efficient.

“A key advantage of ITS is that it allows transport planners and road engineers to delay costly infrastructure upgrades by optimising transport operations on existing infrastructure.

‘Our team has been involved in determining innovative approaches to ITS use for complex projects such as the M80 motorway and the Ipswich motorway upgrade.’

‘We actively seek to develop ITS capability in Australia and New Zealand through sharing our experiences and learning from others in forums such as the ITS Summit and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) Transportation Working Group, and we encourage our colleagues to get involved,’ said Ms Thomas.
