According to 560 ITS America, the ITS America 2016 San Jose conference is set to exceed expectations. It kicks off on 12 to 16 June at the McEnery Convention Center in California under the theme ‘Integrated Mobility. Transportation Redefined’.

Each day highlights a different area of intelligent transportation solutions, including Wheels & Things, Infrastructure of Things and Show Me The Money! The keynote speakers will be Seval Oz, CEO of Continental Intelligent Transportation Systems; Jim Zemlin, executive director of The Linux Foundation; and Frank DiGiammarino, general manager of US, State and Local Government at Amazon Web Services.

ITS America 2016 will also feature 80-plus sessions and live demonstrations, as well as new products and technologies from more than 200 exhibitors. Other highlights include two major sessions: ‘Technology Driven By The C-Suite’ and ‘US DOT Modal Administrators’.

Taking advantage of being in Silicon Valley, there will also be a competition called ‘The Intelligent Pitch’ for start-ups. State DOT directors will share their insights on ITS deployment, and the US DOT will present one public workshop on Sunday and two others on Thursday.

Thursday will also feature a series of tours showing the implementation of intelligent transportation systems in the San Jose region.
