This webinar series is co-organized by ITS Canada and CSA Working Group.
Across Canada, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) are helping industry and government meet their environmental, safety, and economic goals. However, the overarching systems framework needed to support the safe and effective use of the many discreet ITS technologies and practices are lagging behind. One way to address the need for a systems-level approach to intelligent transportation is through the use of standards. But what are standards, and how can they really help?
During this webinar, participants will hear from the Canadian Standards Association about the inner workings of standards development and the variety of ways that standards solutions can be shaped to meet the need they’re designed to address. Participants will also hear from Omar Choudhry, Chair of the CSA Connected and Automated Vehicle Technical Committee, about the launching of a CAV Infrastructure Code and other committee projects related to vehicle automation and intelligent transportation systems.
This webinar, which is geared toward transportation professionals in government and industry, is the first of two planned webinars related to standards and ITS. During the second webinar (November 5, 2026), participants will hear from leading industry professionals about the benefits of using standards as it relates to the National ITS Architecture. These webinars will culminate in an ITS standards workshop to be held in-person at the CSA Transit & ITS Week event in Toronto November 30 – December 4. Click here for more details
