This week’s 6456 ITS World Congress is on track to be an outstanding success, says Brian Negus, 858 ITS Australia president, and RACV general manager public policy.

“Our target for the congress was 7000 delegates, but as of late Tuesday, we had 9850 delegates – and we’ve had great feedback from our plenary sessions,” he said.

“Within the exhibition, we’ve seen the coalescence of big data and how to use it to benefit people.

“Comments from exhibitors are that we’ve had the most traffic at any ITS exhibition, and how they’ve made so many connections.

“One exhibitor said they thought they had the Australian market covered, but they’ve made so many new contacts here that next week they’ll be rewriting their business plan,” Negus said.

    Changing needs of mature and emerging economies are demanding more rigorous enforcement services. Gatso’s managing director Timo Gatsonides spells out the challenge to Jason Barnes. As geographical markets mature and saturate, it might seem that the only thing for suppliers to do is to look further afield in search of new opportunities.
