A paper by Dr Stephane Dreher, Maria Alonso-Raposo and John Paddington of ERTICO, looking at challenges pertaining to remote driver derived data collection for autonomous vehicles.
Every 1st of April, the mobility sector does what it does best, it experiments. Not always with products or pilots, but with humour.
2026 marks a clear inflection point in how the UK highways sector defines, manages and regulates traffic signs and road markings.
This article explores how intelligent systems can strengthen safety and resilience across increasingly complex transport networks.
As cities and regions evolve, mobility systems are being reshaped by rapid technological change, shifting user expectations and the urgent need for more sustainable, inclusive transport.
Every product we consume, every component that fuels industry and every parcel that arrives at our door relies on a complex web of supply chains that span cities, regions and continents.
The question is no longer whether non road modes should evolve, but how innovation can accelerate sustainable, connected mobility across rail, air and water.
As Connected and Automated Mobility technologies mature, the promise of safer, cleaner and more efficient mobility is fraught with technical, infrastructural and strategic challenges, chief among them, digital connectivity.
For decades, urban streets and public transport have presented significant, often prohibitive, barriers for individuals with mobility and sensory impairments, but now Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) are poised to deliver the next revolution in accessibility.
For the Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) sector, which increasingly relies on interconnected, automated and safety critical technologies, the lessons from Ahmedabad are not just relevant they are imperative.
The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) sector stands at a critical juncture. For decades, it has served as the silent architect of modern mobility.
The conversation surrounding Connected, Cooperative and Automated Mobility (CCAM) has fundamentally shifted.
The evolution of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and Cooperative, Connected, and Automated Mobility (CCAM) hinges critically on robust and reliable communication technologies.
Despite the clear public benefits of ITS, a significant minority of people view these systems with suspicion, hostility and in some cases, outright vandalism.
What are the issues that challenge the effective use and deployment of ITS across the world.
In an era defined by rapid technological advancement, the integration of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) into our daily lives holds immense promise.
The foundation of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) analysis rests heavily upon statistical measures, providing a framework for understanding and optimising traffic flow.
The observation of a signalised pedestrian crossing in Mutrah, Oman, devoid of a push button, presents a fascinating case study in urban traffic management.
The devil lies in the details and the achievement of consistency. It's a truth often overlooked in the rush to implement cutting-edge technologies and address pressing transportation challenges.
Implementing Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) projects in less developed countries provides an illuminating lens through which to examine the fundamentals of successful technological deployment. These environments, often characterised by resource constraints and unique socio-cultural landscapes, expose the inherent vulnerabilities and critical dependencies that can undermine even the most well-intentioned projects.
Undertaking designs for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can be a delicate tightrope walk, requiring a nuanced understanding of the interplay between working in compliance of standards and the fluid demands of user-centricity.
So, what is a Smart City? A Smart City is an urban environment where infrastructure and services are interlinked using technology to improve the quality of life by enhancing their operation. For stakeholders, this interconnectivity provides a pathway to improve their services, whilst also accruing cost benefits by using shared infrastructure and data streams.
Over the past decade, technology manufacturers have made great strides in reducing the energy consumption of ITS equipment, the switch to modern electronics and LEDs has had a transformative impact on electrical consumption of installations, with many types achieving 80% savings when compared to traditional equipment.
The volume of information generated by Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and vehicles is likely to increase exponentially, especially following the introduction of Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV), mainly caused by the enormous amounts of data which these are likely to transact on a daily basis. So, how will the digital footprint that follows users across transport modes be protected to respect their privacy and ensure that they are not disadvantaged due to prejudice or commercial interest?
This article examins the issues posed by the climate emergency for the deployment and operation of ITS equipment, with particular focus on the following areas: Appropriateness of traditional ITS platforms and equipment in a changing technology climate; Carbon Reduction in the construction and operation of equipment; Resilience to extreme natural events.
Within the ITS sector, we have seen increasing use of AI in equipment and systems used for traffic management. However, at this point, their application is rather sporadic and lacks a cohesive approach to their use to achieve a strategic implementation.
There has been for some years, a realisation that the way in which the finite capacity is apportioned in our busy urban streets will need to be reviewed to cope with the ever-increasing demands put on them. As a result, we have seen our streetscape gradually evolving to benefit the increasing number of members of the public who are using active transport modes, such as walking and cycling.
