The Intelligent Transportation Society of America’s (560 ITS America) 23rd annual meeting and exposition has concluded in Nashville, with all parties declaring it a major success.

The four-day event brought together nearly 2,000 of the nation’s top transportation officials, business and technology leaders, researchers and policymakers, who explored solutions for easing traffic congestion, financing and improving the nation’s transportation system, advancing life-saving vehicle technologies, and much more through exhibits, panel discussions, technology demonstrations, technical tours, training sessions and networking events.
 
Scott Belcher, president and CEO of ITS America, called the meeting one of the best ever. “This year’s meeting fostered an incredible exchange of ideas and solutions with levels of collaboration between private sector and government that are rarely seen,” he said.
 
The event showcased technologies and solutions being developed and implemented across the US, including connected vehicles, adaptive traffic signals, advanced traffic and incident management systems, electronic tolling and pricing systems, freight management systems, smart mobility apps, and real-time traffic, transit, navigation and parking information.
 
The annual meeting also marks the first official gathering of the ITS America Leadership Circle, an important new initiative with two main goals: to raise the level and creativity of the intelligent transportation conversation and to unify the industry’s political and business influence.
 
In September 2014, ITS America will host the global World Congress on Intelligent Transport Systems in the home of America’s auto industry, Detroit.
