The World Road Association (2237 PIARC) used the World Congress to preview its online ITS and Road Network Operations knowledge-base.

The PIARC website hosts a fully updated version of the PIARC ITS Handbook which, according to Tom Kern of ITS America, is “the world’s first authoritative and easily accessible source of information on a diverse range of ITS and RNO topics”. PIARC teamed up with ITS America to develop the website which has been funded by the USDOT.

Editors John Miles and Finella McKenzie provided attendees to a dedicated conference session a guided tour of the new online resource which will be available free-of-charge to users from November.
