You'll need your morning coffee ahead of our packed day 2 agenda. Visit the TomTom Coffee Cart in the Exhibitor Hall and grab this opportunity to meet the exhibitors before your busy day. 

New data sources are enabling huge breakthroughs in safety and connectivity. How are these data being used to improve road safety for workers, AI for transport management and more...

Safer and more efficient transport networks can be powered by data analytics and AI - these experts are presenting on the work they're doing now to make our roads safer and more efficient. 

From massive international trials for automated freight to AI assisted network management new technologies are delivering safer more equitable transport opportunities now - these presentations show how it can be done. 

As governments grapple with the ambitious ‘Towards Zero’ targets by 2050, the industry continues to develop tech based solutions that will be critical to reaching this important national goal. This session presents a range of pilots, programs and policy solutions - from virtual hazard warning systems, to a real-time driver safety tool for buses using telematics data, automated video analytics to test the safety of school zones, and the NSW Government’s collaboration with 124 LGA’s to deliver the One Road program. 

Co-operative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS) technology enables road users and infrastructure to communicate with each other, sharing information about road conditions, disruptions, traffic flow, and safety incidents.

C-ITS has been proven to have the potential to provide significant safety benefits by detecting and providing advanced warning to drivers to prevent incidents and improve efficiency of transport networks. C-ITS needs alignment amongst governments and industry for harmonised deployment to realise these benefits in Australia.

This project involves uplifting around 30 intersections across five key corridors within the Australian Integrated Multimodal Ecosystem (AIMES) testbed (Melbourne, Victoria) with the advanced sensing and communication capability to continually transmit live information about traffic and safety for road users.

The generous one hour morning tea break this morning is the perfect opportunity to meet and greet our fantastic exhibiting organisations, demonstrating the latest transport technology. 

Improving safety of transport systems always has and will remain a primary goal of ITS deployments , while making transport more sustainable is increasingly critical as governments and industry grapple with reducing carbon emissions. How can these two significant ambitions be realised and enhanced through the introduction of connected and automated vehicles into Australia’s transport system and the growth of Cooperative ITS in our vehicles, infrastructure and networks.  Additionally, how can we ensure the policy settings are right and cohesive nationally to support the adoption of these new technologies.

Hear from national and international leaders in transport technology who will discuss how we can deliver the connected and cooperative vehicles, infrastructure and transport networks that will save lives and fulfil critical environmental sustainability obligations now and into the future.

Wednesday is Summit's longest day so make sure you refuel with a delicious lunch in our Exhibition Hall. 

 As the rollout of electric vehicles in Australia gathers pace, there are challenges and opportunities that require innovative thinking and advanced technological solutions to speed up the nation’s transition to a green fleet. This session presents three interesting perspectives from our journey to date: a study with multi-year insights from an extensive connected electric vehicle dataset; a complete guide to transitioning mobility fleets to electric; and managing the impact of the growing volume of retired EV batteries. 
 

Asset management and maintenance are the backbone of the transport sector - how can AI and ML tools be used to optimise your assets and support up to date reporting? 

Tolling, network optimisation, enforcement and more can be achieved with lower cost infrastructure through smart sensors and data collection - these projects from around the world will show you how. 

Shared mobility and public transport can reduce emissions and increase the sustainability of our networks - these presentations showcase how we transition to a more sustainable transport future. 

Community transport plays one of the most important roles in the transport ecosystem - caring and providing for some of our most vulnerable communities. This session will hear from passionate professionals doing that work and how technology is starting to work for them. 

Another all important networking opportunity to build those relationships with old and new colleagues you've met at this year's Summit. 

While much of the focus for the rollout of autonomous vehicles focuses on cars, where is the industry at when it comes to utilising technology for other important facets of our transport industry? The first presentation will provide a fascinating snapshot of the Advanced Air Mobility industry in Australia; followed by a case study of drones in NSW for incident, congestion and event management; and finally a thought provoking presentation on universally designed accessible autonomous people movers. 

Computer vision, ML / AI and data analytics can be valuable tools in the transport planner and network managers toolbox - these presentations will explain how across a range of issues and jurisdictions. 

Making public transport better will increase patronage, reduce carbon emissions and make our networks more efficient. These subject matter experts will explain how they are utilising these technologies now to provide improve customer experience and more. 

Future of ITS - integration into legacy systems, workforce pipelines and more. This session will explore how we build the existing ITS sector and prepare for the future.
