Transportation infrastructure is a critical, frontline component when building a Smart City. Connected vehicle technology from Applied Information enables communities to provide a critical layer of safety for all roadway users – emergency responders, bus riders, motorists and vulnerable road users. By adding intelligent street lighting, cities take night time safety to the next level.

A new spin on a very familiar piece of ITS technology: the company's Green Gantry is made from wood but can still support signs, sensors and so on, and has a modular design.
Kapsch says this "allows an installation comparable to standard steel bridges and also with the same service life and maintenance intensity".
Each steel gantry creates over 30 tons of CO2 during its production, the company adds - but the wood version "binds more than 20 tons of CO2 and thus has a positive carbon footprint" and "paves the way for sustainable road infrastructure".
ITS International's new video series offers a deep dive into the major topics which shape and influence the intelligent transport and urban mobility sectors: in this video, Sebastien de la Bastie of Outsight explains what makes Lidar such an attractive option for many applications...
An autonomous vehicle project on real roads with real traffic - and some insight into how vulnerable road users interact with AVs
Partners in ServCity are: Nissan, Hitachi, University of Nottingham, TRL, SBD Automotive and Connected Places Catapult
If you want multimodal transport and active travel, you need to commit and be creative: no-one does this better than the Dutch, who have built a massive bicycle parking garage in front of Amsterdam Central Station. Oh, and it's beneath a lake, obviously... (and excellent video by Dutch Cycling Assembly)...
How can storytelling be a key tool towards car-free cities? The auto industry is particularly good at creating its own myths, often based around freedom. But in this video from EIT Urban Mobility, academics and planners explain how Copenhagen wrote a different narrative...

ITS International editor Adam Hill proves beyond doubt, once and for all, that he can walk and talk at the same time: a few pithy reflections on the highlights of the ITS sector in 2022 - and a look ahead to some of the good things to look forward to in 2023... And all without falling over in the snow ❄️
We want to create a world in which people can travel safely and in which the ecological effects of road-related mobility are minimised. We aim to provide lasting protection against traffic-related deaths, injuries and damage. We aim to reduce as far as possible mobility’s carbon footprint and other harmful emissions. We are committed to developing modern, digital and smart solutions which help to achieve these aims.
After 3 days of participating in unique presentations, conversations and conferences with industry leading companies, Intertraffic Mexico 2022 has come to a victorious end.
We’re proud of what we accomplished with the community over the past 3 days. Together we have expressed the inspiring diversity of mobility solutions and the energising amount of coalitions and relevant connections. It was a great pleasure to have you during the show and share your expertise with the Latin Mobility Industry. Did you already spot yourself in our recap video?
PTV Group has launched a new modelling generation, which automates much of the painstaking business of building transport models: With Model2Go, models can be set up for any city or region worldwide within just a week. The new technology provides users such as cities, consulting companies or research institutions with a ready-made foundation on which they can directly implement simple and complex use cases.
