The final day of Summit 2024. Recharge after the fun of last night's social event and plan your participation in the final day's program. Today we also host the inaugural Careers Expo - meet 150 current university students - all exploring dynamic careers in Australia's ITS sector.

Sustainability must be at the forefront of transport planning decisions in order for our sector to contribute to emissions reductions. In this session, presentations examine how sustainability forms part of the design and delivery of a range of ITS programs and projects.

As we see technology enhancing our vehicles, infrastructure and transport networks - companies continue to push the boundaries of innovation to solve longtime aged old problems. In this session, be inspired by innovative tech solutions enhancing traffic management, tolling and public transport networks. 

How can our sector respond and support the national road safety targets that aims for zero fatalities by 2050?  This session will present a variety of solutions - from retrofitting older vehicles with ADAS, to better understanding the crash and injury trends from larger vehicles such as SUVs, and update on the rollout of C-ITS technology across Australia. 

In this session, take a deep dive into some real world case studies where AI, ML and data enhancing roads, vehicles and networks including predictive analytics to improve efficiency on Melbourne tram network, solutions to the challenge of telematics data sharing, and using AI to enhance the management of ITS standards and guidelines. 

What does a career in ITS look like? What education, skills and experience is required to embark on a career in intelligent transport. In this session, leaders working in the field will highlight the career pathways available in their organisations and across the industry, including Graduate program in the government sector. 

This session has been specially curated for the 150 current students attending the final day of Summit 2024 as part of the Careers Expo. 

Asia Pacific leaders will convene for an International ITS Leaders Forum, where participants will delve into the shared transport challenges faced across the Asia Pacific region and highlight the developing solutions happening at a country level that have potential for expansion across the region and globe. 

The leaders from Australia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand - representing all current members of ITS Asia Pacific - will participate in Australia’s largest annual transport technology event.

Join us at the ITS Australia hosted National Women in Transport Networking Reception in the exhibition hall.

The objective is to showcase, support and increase the number of Australian women working in transport. Join us as we collectively hear stories and share best practices from women leaders and work towards developing strategies to overcoming barriers. ITS Australia is the nation’s peak body for advancing transport technology in Australia. Supporting diversity in the ITS industry is a shared responsibility amongst ITS Australia Board of Directors, our employees, our members, and stakeholders.

ITS Australia is delighted to be hosting this event under the umbrella of Australia’s National Women in Transport Initiative.

The National Women in Transport Initiative brings government and industry together to increase the number of Australian Women working in Transport. This reception continues ITS Australia’s tradition of supporting women in the industry to connect with each other and to build international networks.

As mobility solutions continue to rollout across the ITS sector, we continue to enhance and refine those offerings to improve access for transport users and enhance the quality of the journey. Attend this sessions to learn about enhancements to Queensland's Park 'n' Ride program, Cubic's frictionless travel ticketing innovations, and Transdev's 'Way of Network Design'. 

New data and technology is allowing ongoing enhancements to the infrastructure that support our transport networks. Learn about a Traffic Signal priority request solution for Emergency Vehicles in Darwin, research on traffic radar technology to enhance overlength vehicle detection and a case study on autonomous driving solutions.

In this session, it's all about data, and the power of leveraging data sources to enhance all aspects of our transportation systems. Featuring a 12-month case study of an electric bus network, a research project developing a national central database for land use-based trip and parking generation surveys, and a a big picture view on how to leverage connected vehicle data into the future.

What better way to learn about careers in intelligent transport than by hearing directly from young professionals working in the sector. This sessions features current and former members of the ITS Australia NextGens - a group of young and early-career transport professionals who connect online and in-person to promote knowledge sharing and networking.
