Talking Transport Singapore Thursday

Transport Podcast

The way technology can deliver more efficiency on our transport network without the need for more infrastructure building, and how mapping makes our new mobility services possible take centre stage on our look ahead to Thursday at the ITS World Congress in Singapore, in podcasts sponsored by AGD Systems, Cohda Wireless, HERE Technologies, Jenoptik, PTV, SWARCO and WSP. We talk to PTV about the step change in modelling by using realtime data to fix traffic jams before they even happen, while SMART Highways editor Paul Hutton heads to HERE Technology's new offices in Marina Bay, Singapore to discuss mapping solutions and the different challenges faced by the map maker in different parts of the world. There's a conversation about ride sharing with Via, who say that humans will be rational and choose such mobility solutions if they make their lives easier than using their comfortable private car, while Siemens suggest that the long years of political concern about introducing road user charging my be coming to an end. You can also hear Eric Sampson's guide to the sessions he considers must-attend and also hear where you can see Paul Hutton moderate a panel in the Suntec Centre on Thursday afternoon.
