Join Session Chair Adele Beachley, Transport for NSW and ITS Australia CEO Susan Harris as we set the scene for three engaging days at Summit 2024. This session will also feature our International Keynote Address from Dr Steve Dellenback - Vice President R&D at the Southwest Research Institute in the US.
Welcome from Program Committee Co-Chair: Adele Beachley, Executive Director SCATS - Transport for NSW Welcome to Country: Speaker Uncle Michael West, Elder, Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Council Welcome from Summit Host: Susan Harris, CEO - ITS Australia International Keynote Address: Steve Dellenback, Vice President R&D - Soutwest Research Institute (US) Welcome from ITS Asia Pacific: Akio Yamamoto, Secretary General - ITS Asia Pacific
Facilitated by Samantha Taylor, Head of Transport Analytics at Transurban, this invitation only event will bring together representatives from across the industry, including OEMs, freight providers and related associations, to discuss the current and future applications of connected truck data, data sharing for public good, the challenges and the opportunities. Roundtable Sponsor
Join this session for an update of Australia’s Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) journey. Featuring a big picture of overview of where the nation stands, A deep dive into Western Australia’s strategy and roadmap for the next three to four years and a case-study of the collaborative initiative by Lexus Australia and Ohmio to trial C-ITS and AVs in Sydney’s Darling Harbour.
Large language models, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning as well as Connected Transport are integral to future mobility. Presenters in this sessions will unpack real world examples from across the globe where these evolving technologies are being leveraged to deliver safer, connected and efficient transport networks.
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.
From on-demand public transport that works better for travellers, to transport networks that better cater for micromobility and multimodal solutions, this session examines the last mile/first mile challenge - how can we deliver seamless door-to door services for our customers?
Join colleagues for lunch in the Exhibition Hall to unpack the interesting learnings from the morning's sessions. Be sure to visit our exhibitors during the break to build important business connections.
Delivering our transport future relies on putting great ideas into practice and then assessing the success of pilots and trials to deliver the best possible transport solutions. This session includes a series of insightful presentations from government (Transport NSW), industry (Kapsch TrafficCom Australia) and academia (UTS and University of Newcastle).
Transport of goods is a critical element of our sector and offers many challenges in a country the size of Australia. Join this sessions to see what technology can offer to enable more efficient and seamless delivery of goods and enhance the safety for drivers and other road users.
The future of Mobility as a Service was a significant talking point at our Mobility 2024 conference in May and this important session will drive the conversation forward by combining academic expertise with practical industry insights. Featured presenters include University of Sydney's Professor John Nelson making a case for the scalability of MaaS, and Cubic Transportation Systems, Vice President of Innovation Ellory Monks examining the future of transportation payments.
Transport access pricing is a critical and complex question to improve congestion on our road networks and encourage greater uptake of public transport and other mobility solutions. This session unpacks the role of technology in pricing out networks - from international case studies of road user charging to macroeconomic modelling to understand multimodal trip demand, and more.
Australia’s transport system contributed 21% of our overall emissions in 2023. It is our fastest growing source of emissions—a major culprit being energy intensive road freight. Rigid and articulated trucks contributed over 10% of all transport emissions. This figure is set to increase in the years ahead. The transition to zero tailpipe emissions vehicles is a critical step in Australia’s ambition to achieve Net Zero in 2050. Freight and logistics operators are spearheading this charge, with significant investment into (primarily electric) middle-mile freight and last-mile delivery vehicles to meet consumer demands. Vehicle manufacturers are also heavily investing in vehicle and battery technology innovation. However, like passenger vehicles and the roll-out of supporting super charging highways, shared-use charging is both central and critical to achieving the scale needed to support a connected network for these larger vehicles. This approach is already being adopted globally and planning is underway for the east coast of Australia, with the first site to be in operation in Melbourne by 2025.
AI is one of the dominant issues of the 2020’s, with every major industry looking to leverage its capabilities to enhance performance, increase productivity and deliver greater solutions. Beyond the hype, what does AI offer the ITS sector and what can it do to deliver on the common goals of enhancing safety, sustainability and efficiency? In this panel discussion, hear from experts across industry and government on how AI is being used right now in the transport sector and how to ensure security, privacy and accessibility remain forefront considerations to ethically deliver the technological benefits from AI.
