Talk Description

Institution: Kapsch TrafficCom Australia

Connected transport involves the use of digital and communication technologies to meet the challenges of the transportation industry. It’s most significant potential lie in improvements to efficiency, safety, and sustainability of transport systems, with the relevant standards to work with. Its ecosystem comprises Connected Vehicles, ITS systems & the Integrations within. Connected Vehicles able to communicate with other vehicles, infrastructure, and the cloud, improving safety, reducing congestion, and optimizing routes. Intelligent Transportation Systems help manage and control transportation networks and can include traffic signal control systems, electronic toll collection, and dynamic message signs. Multi agency & multi-platform integrations allow a unified single source of truth for effective management of a road network via intersection priority, proactive responses and information direct to the road user. The potential of Connected Transport can be exponentially improved through Data Analytics to improve transportation planning and management, enabling transportation planners to identify trends and patterns to make informed decisions about future infrastructure, investment and policies. However, as more transportation systems become connected, they become vulnerable to cyber-attacks. Therefore, it is important to ensure that these systems are properly secured to prevent unauthorized access and protect user data. Overall, connected transport has the potential to revolutionize the transport by making it safer, more efficient, and more accessible for people. As technology continues to advance, we can expect to see more innovative solutions that will transform the way we move around our cities and communities.
