This year’s conference shines the spotlight on two of the most talked about topics in the industry: Mobility-as-a- Service, multimodality and service integration, and Smart cities, digital infrastructure and connectivity.
Intelligent Transport Conference 2019 will tackle these topics head on with leading transport experts from around the world convening in London to answer some of the industry’s most pressing questions. This year we’re welcoming CTOs, CIOs, MDs, heads of mobility and heads of urban planning to the programme from a variety of mobility service providers and cities. Alongside the likes of public transport operators such as Arriva and Go-Ahead are some of the most exciting new mobility companies in the market, like Uber, Drivy and Voi. On top of these are representatives from cities like Helsinki and Copenhagen, whose strategies in mobility and zero-emissions transport point the way forward for others.
As a delegate, you will be able to:
- Gain insight into the future of transport from global industry specialists
- Hear about the latest & future challenges facing transport and how these can be tackled
- Network with senior transport figures
- Learn about new cutting edge technology
- Create fantastic business relationships and strengthen existing ones
- Have your say in debates and ask questions!
The Congress’s main theme “Fulfilling ITS Promises”, was chosen to highlight how Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) can deliver affordable, impactful and innovative solutions that make daily life and mobility safer, cleaner, and more efficient. This report sums up the proceedings and highlights from this 2019 Congress and gives to mobility stakeholders pointers for future hot topics and further developments.
A strong message from this Congress was that as a society we are firmly placed in the Fourth Industrial Revolution – with Data Connectivity as a guiding mantra: Connectivity anywhere, all the time, between everything. And as one speaker put it “If data is the new fuel then Artificial Intelligence is the new engine”.
It was clear that technology was not the big issue for fulfilling promises – it was getting its suppliers, regulators, customers and users together to work as a partnership. A holistic approach was essential to show how issues inter-relate and it needed all stakeholders to cooperate in delivering it.
Another message was keeping users at the heart of MaaS and focusing on what they really wanted from mobility.
Following the success of the 1st edition of the International Congress “Transport Infrastructure and Systems” (TIS ROMA 2017), AIIT (Italian Association for Traffic and Transport Engineering) is pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the International Congress TIS ROMA 2019, which will be held in ROME on 23rd - 24th September 2019 at ACI (Automobile Club d’Italia) Headquarters.
The objective of the AIIT International Congress TIS Rome 2019 is to promote the knowledge of the new trends of development of mobility systems and transport infrastructures. The Congress aims at providing a forum for discussion, interactions and exchange among researchers, scientists and engineers whose fields of interest concern transport and infrastructure engineering. The congress is organized by the Italian Association for Traffic and Transport Engineering AIIT founded in 1957.
The meeting program will cover all transportation modes, with more than 100 presentations in sessions and workshops, addressing topics of interest to policy makers, administrators, practitioners, researchers, and representatives of government, industry, and academic institutions.
The congress will host participants from more than 50 countries worldwide, with more than 100 scientific papers. TIS Rome 2019 proceedings will be published in Transportation Research Procedia (Elsevier), indexed in Scopus. A special issue of the Journal “European Transport” (http://www.istiee.org/te/) with a selection of the best papers is planned.
