A national action plan for safer more efficient transport



ITS Australia president Dr Norm Pidgeon.
 
The two-day Intelligent Transport Systems Summit held in Melbourne last week achieved an Australian first by defining a national vision to make the country’s transport safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
 
The 2009 ITS Summit was co-hosted by the Victorian Government and ITS Australia. With input from 10 international and 42 Australian speakers, the 360 summit delegates collaborated to draft a vision document that will maximise the value of modern electronic transport technologies for Australian road and rail transport networks.
 
ITS Australia president Dr Norm Pidgeon said the focus of the 2009 Australian Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Summit was bringing together representatives of the commonwealth and state governments to review that vision document. This government roundtable included representatives from Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Commonwealth, and called for a final report from the Summit by March 2010.
 
“While Australia was an early adopter of ITS technologies and is a leader in the development of many technologies, this plan for the future of ITS is our most exciting national achievement,” he said. “ITS technologies streamline transport networks by providing real time data to facilitate scheduling and to minimise the impact of system or vehicle breakdowns. We now use ITS widely to reduce city centre traffic congestion and to speed up public transport services.
 
“The keys to improved transport safety and efficiency are uniformity of standards and systems. This is critical in inter-modal operations. For example, we can leverage the benefits of our existing single systems by linking different public transport networks, such as buses and trains, or delivering freight with rail and road services.
 
“Working at national level, with cooperation between governments and networks, we can apply modern ITS technologies to greatly enhance our existing and future transport investments. More efficient transport will reduce emissions and increase our competitiveness in international markets.
