From young professionals to lifetime achievers, the 858 ITS Australia awards ceremony recognised leading industry contributors at the end of a busy 2013 event calendar.

Winners were announced before more than 110 industry leaders in Melbourne last week and the Awards program was well supported with nominations from a wide cross section of industry sectors.

Winners included Keith Aldridge who was posthumously awarded the Max Lay lifetime achievement award for his creative vision, passion and dedication to making transport systems safer through improved signalling, signage and lighting systems.

Winner of the 2013 Young Professional Award was New South Wales 6722 Roads and Maritime Services Mechatronic Engineer Ben Cribbin. Ben has made significant contributions to his engineering team by designing and prototyping working examples of motorised movable medians to manage tidal traffic flows and safety situations, a low power consumption Eink display for variable message signs and LCD variable message signs for bus stops and railway stations.

A special award based on feedback from the 450 delegates that attended the 2013 Australian ITS Summit in September was made to 600 Transurban head of ETTM Jean-Marc Genesi, whose presentation provided a comprehensive review of the Washington DC Capital Beltway Express Lanes project data discussing trends in dynamic pricing, customer behaviour, HOV usage, enforcement and traffic.

“The high standard of nominations presented the Awards judging panel with a challenging assignment,” said ITS Australia Chief Executive Officer Susan Harris. “It has been very rewarding to pause and take stock of the benefits our industry delivers to the community and to recognise those individuals that have achieved inspirational outcomes through innovation and commitment,” she said.
