• Emergence of disruptive technologies

Driving ITS to a New Normal

We need stronger engagement and understanding at the decision

making level; and to keep a pulse on disruptive trends that could

redefine impacts to national strategies and agenda

One of the biggest barriers to ITS is institutional. There are viable and practical ITS solutions

in most situations, but bringing different organisations from dis-connected jurisdictions to a

common technology platform can come against some very entrenched attitudes and

operational barriers rather quickly.

Data is the new oil

Our biggest challenges are no longer in “brick-and-mortar”

The future of ITS is

defined by connectivity –

and the network effect...

Smart vehicles, smart cities, smart

roadways define the roadmap for V2I -

V2V integration.

National Traffic Management Centre

The objective of developing a National Traffic Management Centre is to integrate and centralise traffic and other data information to be shared and disseminated to relevant agencies for purposes of traffic, transport management, safety and disaster management.
