Session Description

The rollout of ITS tech innovations can only succeed if they're supported by standards and governance frameworks that underpin their use in our transport networks. Three interesting presentations unpack important issues such as aligning with international standards to enhance cybersecurity, a systems thinking approach to distracted driving, and the future of automatic fare collection.

Session Program

Given the potential impact of cyberattacks on public infrastructure, the Asset Standard Authority from TfNSW recommends aligning industrial automation and control systems with IEC 62443. This session includes an overview of IEC 62443, the concept of defense-in-depth using the Purdue reference model and implementation strategies as a communication equipment supplier.
This research employed systems thinking to explore how the management of distracted driving could be improved. We developed a control structure model, identifying driver distraction stakeholders, controls, and feedback mechanisms. Stakeholder interviews were then used to identify seven requirement categories for effectively addressing distracted driving, emphasising a multifaceted, coordinated approach.
