ITS Australia Report - Smart Transport for Australia
Posted by: ITS Canada

March 1st, 2017

The ITS Australia Smart Transport for Australia Report was released today and is a review of the nation’s smart transport technology industry, identifying future opportunities for safer, more efficient and sustainable transport.

The Report leverages off last year’s hugely successful Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) World Congress in Melbourne, attended by more than 11,500 delegates from 73 countries. The Congress benefited the economy by $25 million and connected Australian governments, businesses, researchers and start-ups with international

organisations.

Smart Transport for Australia 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
Next Generation Public Transport and Mobility as a Service
Big Data, Analytics, Ownership and Access
Future Freight
Transport Pricing and Funding
Frameworks for Success

ITS President Brian Negus says Smart Transport for Australia has significant implications for the country.“We are in a unique position to harness technology to enhance the liveability of our cities and communities".
