The report provides examples of local and international initiatives and identifies seven key areas for opportunity, with a focus on Australian considerations, including: pathways to connected autonomy; mobility for smart cities and communities; and next generation public transport and mobility as a service. It also discusses big data, analytics, ownership and access; future freight; transport pricing and funding; and frameworks for success

The ITS Australia Report was produced by Fivenines Consulting, sourcing information from Congress presentations and papers, and interaction with the ITS Australia Board. In addition, on-site face-to-face interviews were conducted with key industry thought-leaders, providing authentic insights, based on genuine industry knowledge and experience.

ITS President Brian Negus believes the report has significant implications for the country.  “We are in a unique position to harness technology to enhance the liveability of our cities and communities,” he said.

“Australia is a leader in transport technology and an early adopter of innovation and initiatives. Utilising technology and real time data, in a shared and open environment, provides an opportunity to improve safety, reduce congestion and pollution on our networks, and increase mobility.
